What impressed you negatively?

"Very "stuffy" atmosphere of the students, and elitist attitude, interview group was a good combo of elitists from the west coast and poindexters from the east coast. BALTIMORE, the dorms are absolutely atrocious, really can't walk around anywhere." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Faculty Interviewer: Repeatedly yawned in front of me during the interview and dressed in sweats. Clearly didn't want to be there. Student Interviewer: Meh, just got the general vibe he didn't like me - I felt like he thought I wasn't interesting The Waiting Room: You ARE critqued by interviewers while waiting in the waiting room and talking with them. I don't care what anyone says - it DOES inherently create an awkward and artificial tone. Overall, really only the prestige, and maybe the public health/disparities side is intriguing. New curriculum seemed good also, but that's it. Interviewed at several other elite schools, and only school where admissions staff and tour guides were openly obnoxious. Really just did not like it here - not a good fit at all." Report Response
