"I toured at the Chicago campus, and was impressed by the fact that the students took the initiative to change the curriculum regarding the testing schedule. Also, I was amazed by how friendly everybody was, from the admissions staff to the interviewers to random students. The medical students seemed down to earth and satisfied with the medical education they were receiving. This place is modest when it comes to boasting about their curriculum and facilities on their website, but when you tour, you will find that they, too, have a new and amazing fitness center. The anatomy lab is on the top floor, and is well-lit. The grading is honors, pass, fail, and everybody can pass if they do the work. In addition, they have an excellent standardized pt. program that is videotaped, so you learn clinical skills early on. of Also, I love the fact that UIC is situated in the heart of Chicago proper, and you will having amazing clinical experiences during the 3rd and 4th years. Finally, to quote one of my interviewers, this place is a "smorgasbord" in regards to the opportunities that abound, from earning dual degrees like MD/MPH, MD/MBA, and MD/PhD to finding research opportunities after M1. They also have a UMed program, which offers courses specifically for the health concerns in an urban population." Report Response
"The only thing I didn't like about the interview day was having to run around from building to building to find my interviewers. It makes the situation kind of stressful if one of your interviews runs a little long, and you only have 10 min. to rush to the next one. It all worked out, though, so no real complaints."

"My day started out early, with a morning interview schedule. They were back-to-back, 30 min. long, with a Ph.D., medical student, and an M.D. It was pretty low-stress, as the interviewers just wanted to get to know me better. Afterwards, there was a talk on the various tracks, and then a great lunch. Susan Steucheli was very kind and *surprisingly* remembered my name (an amazing feat given the fact that so many people apply to this school). The random students I talked to gave unsolicited comments that really helped put this school at the very top of my list -- they're honest, REAL, and truly satisfied with their medical school experience. This school is as tightly-knit as you want it to be, but nobody is going to hold your hand. Sounds good to me!" Report Response
