What impressed you negatively?

"The student who gave the tour was very obnoxious. He came across as someone who worked for admissions instead of being a student. The school is in an old suburban neighborhood not terribly close to the city. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That the PIL discussion at the end of the day is really optional, and that staying for it wont look better on your part. So unless you're really interested, just leave before it. There is a lot of just waiting around. I probably spent 2-3 hours just waiting with other interviewees." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day starts with the director of admissions talking about the school's history, and a few other things. Then we had the student led tour around the school. Afterward, there was a lot of waiting around. Some students had interviews in the med school, others had to go downtown to Hahneman Hospital. Either way, we basically just had to sit and wait for our faculty interview. After that, we returned to the same room to wait for a student to show up take us to lunch and interview us. Then, you can leave or stay for the PIL talk, which lasted about an hour as the PIL director fervently advised that we make the "right" choice." Report Response
