"not a lot of basic research opportunities, kinda far from Chicago. area around school isn't super, curriculum isn't loose enough to allow for a year LOA from coursework" Report Response
"bring your AMCAS app to fill out paperwork about specific coursework and credits completed to fulfill requirements (do we really have to do this right before our interviews???). I did a saturday interview but I wish I had gone during the week cuz nothing was happening at the school and it felt like touring a closed shopping mall with a few students milling around" Report Response
"arrive, quick spiel by Dean Muraskas (great guy!), 2 back to back interviews (one PhD, one MD), then chat with students over lunch and tour of facilities. It was funny how they said that "occasionally" they would do three interviews, but would not tell us whether that was a good or bad thing. but people during the day were pulled aside from tour and stuff to go meet with another person. I was thankful that I made it through the day w/o this until I got back to the office and they told me and another guy to go talk to the dean. It was NOT an interview, just a chat. Although other people may have had actual interviews, who knows. Needless to say, me and the other guy went to the restroom to rebutton our top button and pull our act together since we had started to relax. I thought the finishing touch of the dean taking me and another guy into the NICU to show us the impact the school was making on the community was a very nice touch. I just got my acceptance today and if I get in somewhere else, I'd want to check it out again during school in session. Overall though, I'd be happy here for sure" Report Response
