What are your general comments?
I was set up with a student to stay with who was absolutely wonderful. She showed me around and answered all my questions and was probably the best part of my visit. While the school seems ideal for med students interested in research or seeing unusual cases in certain specialties, it didn't seem to necessarily excel at its general classroom education or be particularly unusual in its clinical education.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, school website, reread amcas, talked to a student,
What impressed you positively?
The tourguide made the students sound very social and fun, but I'm not sure I saw that in the ones I actually met. The faculty is incredible; the students can find almost any research or clinical opportunity they could possible want, and everyone seems very receptive to welcoming students who want to shadow or work for them. The upcoming construction projects sound very exciting, but wouldn't really affect anyone who started there next year. It is incredibly cheap to live there.
What impressed you negatively?
East Baltimore. It sounds like it's going to change completely pretty soon, but for now it doesn't seem like a nice area to live, especially if you don't think you'll have a car and can get out of the area a bit. The current pre-clinical teaching building looks like a basement even if you're on the third floor; it felt dark and almost dirty, and the new one won't be ready for years.
