What are your general comments?

"After arriving, an admin director gave a PowerPoint presentation about the school. Afterwards, the interviews began. Candidates are interviewed by a faculty member individually and also a student individually (the order is random). The interviews are 30 min long and mine were not confrontational at all. They were very very friendly. The interview blocks are also selected at random so you have a chance to talk to other candidates while waiting. The fac interview is completely open file. My fac read my entire primary and did not interrogate me about grades or MCAT, which was nice of her. The student interview was closed file. At noon. there is a nice lunch with students who sell the school and the director. The food was actually really good. After lunch, there was a tour and then we were released. Positives: friendly people, newly renovated gym and rec area, access to med school fac (they are mainly teaching not research), in philly, good women health program, choice between PIL and IFM negs: in bad neighborhood, med campus is quite isolated (no hosp next door & undergrad campus is not there and needs shuttle ride), no student housing, seemed small" Report Response
