"the high-techiness. they have constructed a new hospital with an entire floor devoted to student learning (microphoned walls and videocameras and mechanized manequins)" Report Response
"there's no wet lab - everything is done on computers, this is great, i guess, but you lose some of the lab science stuff. there is also very little research on campus, however opportunities elsewhere (ie: NIH). Also, students were very disinterested/bored with some of their classes (they said everyone was, but they were the only students I actually heard complaining during my various interviews)."

"I got there (a bit late thanks to metro troubles). it was raining (bring an umbrella, DC weather is a bit unpredictable). We started with a talk by the dean of admissions, then we went on a tour of the classrooms and hospital. They share the class facilities with the school of public health but there's no cross registering allowed (one of the only schools i interviewed at where this was the case). The facilities are fairly unbeatable. The location is awesome. The students were very gregarious, the complained quite a bit about their anatomy class, and not wanting to go to class/school, but maybe this was just the students that day, not sure. All seemed happy about their decisions, very diverse group. After tour/lunch I had two interviews, first one with a stone-faced professor, he had no reaction to me or the other 2 interviewees, he's just a hard interviewer, but it was conversational if not congenial. Student interview afterwards, went incredibly well, she is someone I would love to be in school with, was really intelligent, engaging, and easy to talk to. Afterwards they gave us mugs, talked to us about the track system - it seems really cool and a great opportunity to include students personal interests into their medical school education. There's a lot of support for student endeavors." Report Response
