"The friendliness of the admissions staff (they seem like they could be your mom) and the laid-back students." Report Response
"The Medical Education Building, while new, was a little too industrial for my tastes. Walking through it you would think that wood didn't exist on planet earth anymore, only aluminium." Report Response
"That half of the other applicants would be non-traditional. We even had a professor of anthropology in our group. " Report Response
"Overall the day went pretty well. Don't expect breakfast because the day doesn't start until 11:00 AM, which is nice because you have time to get your wits about you. The Admissions staff were extremely friendly and laid back, as were the other students in our group. The dean joked that it was good to see such a livid bunch, as the past week's group were deathly silent the whole time. I think they wasted too much time (almost 50 min) talking about financial aid. Why not tell us all this info AFTER we're accepted? I would have prefered to have had a longer time seeing the campus itself, as the tour only lasted about 35 minutes, partly because of the long finance talk and because the tour guides had to go to class. The school has nice facilities, but it's lacking in warmth (i.e. metal everywhere). The interview itself went really smoothly, and the format wasn't as awkward as you might come to expect. If you have Tom and Tom as your interviewers, don't sweat it. They're awesome guys!" Report Response
