What impressed you positively?

"The students were really friendly and all smiled/said hi as they passed us. The med school is BEAUTIFUL, and the hospitals are really nice as well (although extremely confusing...). The information sessions throughout the day are probably the most informative of any I have had so far (bring LOTS of questions to ask, because chances are all of your standard ones will be answered in the morning orientation session)."

What are your general comments?

"The day started at 8 AM and finished around 2:30 PM. It is extremely laid back. You have a few different presentations (about the curriculum, school, hospitals, financial aid, diversity, etc) throughout the day. Two tours: the med school and the hospitals. Two interviews: one-on-one with a faculty member and a group interview with 2 med students and ~4 applicants. The student interview is 45 min long and is also really informal. Come with questions though, as the med students ask very few and mainly want to tell you about their own experience." Report Response
