"the comfortable seats in the conference/waiting room" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"lack of diversity (everyone's from either Madison or rural, northern Wisconsin); school's unwarranted pompous attitude (it's a ''good'' school, but I wouldn't call it elite); obvious preference for conducting stress interviews (if someone tells you he doesn't do stress interviews... odds are, you're in the middle of one, or will be very shortly) *<rolls eyes>" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"from what I've seen... the school wants to churn out physicians that will serve the state of Wisconsin's underserved populations... hence the existence of its rather homogeneous (ie - mostly Caucasians from a rural area) student body... " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"it wasn't necessarily bad... it's just that they made a big deal out of not conducting stress interviews at the beginning, then they give you one anyway... the admissions director or whoever said at the beginning of the day that sometimes ''personalities don't mesh'' or that the ''interviewer may be having a bad day'' which can lead to ''unpleasant experiences''... but it's completely ''unintentional'' and that if you feel you were ''treated unfairly'' then you can request another interview... riiight... if they're going to all the trouble of bringing this up at the beginning of the day, it's pretty obvious what you can expect later... I didn't care for the guide's ''rah-rah'' attitude during the tour of the hospital... " Report Response
