What are your general comments?

"I was very pleased with my day at OHSU. The student tour was great. The MS1's were very enthusiastic and very willing to talk about their great experiences at OHSU. The rain went away in the late morning and revealed a spectacular view of Portland from the hill. The tram down to the river was running and it seemed really cool. There was a bit of downtime even though my interviews were during the middle of the day. The whole process wasn't stressful, interview locations were easy to find and the interviews were very conversational. Any stress was mostly self imposed. I was very impressed by the way the students really want to help eachother not out-compete eachother. I liked the way students are able to start seeing patients during the first week adn start getting an idea on what specialty they would like during the first quarter. To me OHSU appeared to be among the best medical schools in the country and although it is ranked high I feel it is underrated for the education it provides." Report Response
