What are your general comments?

"I spent the night with an MD/PhD student who was really cool. We talked about a lot of issues and got lost trying to get to his house. On the interview day, we all got there at 9am & had coffee. A woman who worked in the admissions office took us on a tour, which basically consisted of walking through the 4 interconnected hospitals to the simulation center and then back to the admissions office. Then we had lunch at the hospital cafeteria & I had an interview with a student and the asst dean for diversity and then a Ph.D. bioengineer. Then I asked to meet with an MD, cause I wanted to ask about the patient population & they hooked me up with the dean of admissions, who is retired from practice. When I asked him my questions, he was super-disparaging. He doesn't practice anymore, they don't have this department anymore.... The rest of the day was pretty good, but the meeting with him was weird." Report Response
