What impressed you positively?

"EVERYTHING. Pittsburgh is dedicated to always improving, and the facilities are amazing. WISER is incredible, and there are so many hospitals that med students have access to, right next to the medical school. This was the first school I've gone to where they took us into the anatomy lab while they were dissecting, which was an eye-opening experience. I thought I might get grossed out, but instead I was fascinated!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"First, you interview with a student, which was actually a lot of fun. We started off with the usual questions, then we just had a random conversation for a half hour and ended it because I had to leave for another interview. The Dean of Admissions meets with you for 15 minutes. Be prepared for him to ask you where else you're applying, and to have comments on your answer! Next, I interviewed with a faculty member for a little under an hour. Again, we started with typical questions and then just had an interesting conversation about her research, current events, etc. These interviews are very low stress--enjoy them!" Report Response
