"Drank, did work, read UPitt's "person-to-person" magazine" Report Response
"The associate dean of admissions was the most jovial, light-hearted, easy-to-talk-to person I have met so far in the interview process. Simulation lab was very interesting. The usually painful financial aid talk wasn't so bad." Report Response
"Many, many things. All the literature they give you about the school sounds like it was written by some cheesy marketing firm. Overall the school comes across like it is trying to hard to relate to it's students. Too much emphasis on how doctors must fit into the pittsburgh model: very empathetic, team oriented, etc. Overall, just seemed very pedantic. Student interviewer idea might work better if they had 4th years interview instead of 1st and 2nd years. Faculty interviewer came in 20 minutes late and seemed exhausted the whole time we talked. The tour is really long and after you leave the simulation lab, everything else you see is standard hospital stuff. Very boring." Report Response
"How new-agey the school thinks it is. That you should be prepared to lead the conversations in your interviews." Report Response
"Overall, the day is way too packed. You see more of the hospital than you probably will in your first two years at the school. Student interviews you first and then a faculty member. Also, there is a hill leading up to the medical school, but it is not the behemoth other people have described. " Report Response
