What are your general comments?

"The overall "Interview DAY" impressed me. I really love this school. The emphasis that they seem to place on producing clinicians, curriculum, big class size, location, everything. They really do seem to care about their students, especially Dr. Callahan and Grace Hershman. My student interview was very laid back, in a lounge with others student interviews going on at the same time. It didn't even feel like and interview, just a friendly discussion. I actually started to feel that I was asking too many questions about the school and not really giving my interviewer a chance to speak (The student interview is closed file.). My faculty interviewer was very condescending and criticized my whole application. I didn't even get to respond, because he would go onto something else. He then just started talking about things he didn't like about medicine in general, the school, etc. Didn't ask for my opinions, I just sat there. I felt like my interview was a waste of time BUT I was accepted. Strange as it may seem, my interview did not change my view on this school. I still love what Jefferson is about, what they have to offer and plan on attending. If you don't mind a big class (200+) and living in the heart of Philly, check this school out. The interview day was really well organized and the admission coordinators (4 second year students) were really helpful. They have an informal reception/refreshments thing after, current med students drop by and you get to talk to them, Grace Hershman stopped by. " Report Response
