What impressed you positively?

"The medical students were very friendly, positive, and open. They answered most of my questions about the school." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interview day is relatively unstructured compared to others. After show time, we were given our interview times. There were no formal briefings from staff, only a 5 minute informal talk from one of the deans. The student-led tour of the school was brief and ill-timed. Most of the time was spent in informal talks with random students who wandered in for cookies." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Not much. It is fairly straightforward. It is $8 to park in the visitor lot and about 1/2 mile walk to the medical school. Public transport to/from airport is very cheap and easy. Chapel Hill is a great town." Report Response
