What are your general comments?

"I had a great interview and I love the school. The interview was very informal and laid back. PBL seems an ideal fit for me. It is not for everyone, but I value independant study, active group learning, and free time for family. The students claimed to have A LOT of free time. I am suprized at the negative sentiment on this site about the school, it is fantastic. It is certainly my number one school. Oh and don't follow the "Tell em primary care" advice given by a previous poster. My interviewer specifically said that there is a rumor going around that if you tell MU that you are going into primary care you will get in, he said that was crap and they look for sincerity in applicants. If you have no desire for family medicine, don't tell them you do. They will see right through you." Report Response
