What impressed you positively?

What are your general comments?

"I was surprised at how little the school tried to sell itself or point out its unique aspects. The assumption was almost like "you'll come here if you don't have other options." The Director of Admissions talked about how they're med-student focused, since there's no ugrad student body and they don't have to worry about fielding a football team. I'd rather have heard about their values, goals, initiatives. My interviewer asked what I'll do if I don't get any acceptances, when it's late Feb. and I have two acceptances. Very much got the feeling that it's a safety-school. They're working on bringing in more research money to up their prestige, but what would I get at MCW that would be different from New York Med, Drexel, Loyola, etc." Report Response
