What impressed you positively?

"Unbelievable amount of money that the university is investing in the school of medicine. YSM is in the middle of a $1 billion expansion project. The anatomy labs are the best in the country. The 75-year-old curriculum of P/F and a scholarly thesis is being mimicked by just about every other top medical school in the country now. The fact that you can easily add on a joint degree with so little red tape, or have the freedom and flexibility to enroll in any course in any school of the university free of charge is amazing. The culture and history at Yale are very, very rich. The historical library and the handsome granite dome of Sterling Hall immediately give off this impression. The students are by far the most satisfied and content I've met on the interview trail. Their residency match list is spectacular, with huge percentages of the class continuing at Harvard, UCSF, or Johns Hopkins PGY programs." Report Response
