What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That we would see a cadaver. We toured the facilities and peeked into the gross anatomy lab. I know as a med student, you get used to working with cadavers but I hadn't seen one before and would have liked to have been a little more prepared mentally! All in all, I am glad that I did, though...there's a first time for everything!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall, this is a great school with a strong curriculum. They house 1 of 8 USMLE testing sites in the country which means you are familiar with the facilities and feel more comfortable during the exam. My second interview was a challenge. I was basically put into the philosophical grinder and, at some points, felt a little insulted by some of the comments made. However, I found this session more engaging than intimidating and that is what made my interviewer impressed overall. My first interview was more straightforward - some healthcare policy issues and a general desire to get to know me." Report Response
