What impressed you positively?

"The use of technology is very impressive. I sat in on a Convergence (PBL) class, and thought it was very neat how they used COMET to get information about the patient. Also, all material from your 4 years there stays on your COMET webpage and is organized nicely. Virtual microscope is a plus. The PBL faculty member was very nice and attentive to me. The students are chill. Burlington is pretty, but I am partial to New England anyway. I was also impressed by the undergrad institutions represented by the fellow applicants." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The hospital seemed pretty small compared to others I've seen. The interview itself felt like an hour-long interrogation, but perhaps I had just been spoiled by the conversational interviews I had at other schools." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Considering UVM's high primary care ranking, I expected to see a school that pushed its students in that direction. However, I got the sense that they encouraged any and all career paths. The match list is impressive (probably due in part to the innovative/integrated curriculum), with people going into all sort of fields. That being said, UVM is not a research school, and when I asked about research, people were a little unsure of the opportunities -- still, I'm sure they can be found if you look hard enough."
