"Everything: Dr. Bardes, the dean of admissions, is friendly and funny. About 8 students showed up to have lunch with us, and were all extremely warm and friendly. They say they are the least stressed out of all their friends at other med schools, and that Cornell is very laid back. I love PBL--I think it's the ideal way to train to be an effective, resourceful physician. The facilities are beautiful. My faculty interviewer was warm and friendly and GENUINELY interested in having a conversation with me. So yeah, basically, it was great." Report Response
