What impressed you positively?

"The close proximity of the hospitals to the medical school that is you don't really need to drive to diff. hosp. to do rotations. everything is there! Lectures are also recorded so you can listen at home if you prefer. Also the new curriculum is amazing. I'm very glad that many major medical schools are moving to this system of educating us. It may not be the best but it is definitely excellent and on the right path to producing very competent physicians. One of the things that will impress you is that all the students will finish med. school with very unique experiences. There are vast opportunities to do whatever you want! Please read more about the medical scholars program. but overall, I was really impressed although I felt that I was way underprepared for the interview. " Report Response
