What are your general comments?

"We had a few comments from a doctor (and he explicitly said "We don't talk about financial aid until you're accepted" which seemed kind of strange). We went on a tour ot the medical school and dorms - one of our tour guides was 15 mninutes late and "didn't know he had to give a tour today." They were really really informal/laid-back, even swearing on the tour. They took us to the anatomy lab, which was cool, and I appreciated visiting their dorm rooms: the rooms themselves are okay, but the building and walkways are really decrepit looking. At lunch, a dean gave us a rather uninspiring talk about why they aren't ranked so highly on US News, then we took a short (5-10 minute) tour of Bellevue, which consisted of standing in the new, gorgeous atrium and talking, then walking back. My interview went well, but the interviewer was kind of crude, yet funny... Two of us went to tour the Bellevue ER (no one else wanted to / was able to come), and the 2nd year didn't even know where it was, but Bellevue seems like a really nice hospital. Overall, negative impressions about organization, attractiveness of the facilities, and lax/party-school atmosphere." Report Response
