What impressed you positively?

"Absolutely nothing..Quick turn-around between interview and acceptance I guess." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interviewers themselves (who would be your professors!) were incredibly rude, pretended to fall asleep while I was answering their questions (then would quickly open up one eye to look and see if this agitated me), and just had an overall negative and accusatory edge/attitude in the tone and way in which they spoke to me. The tour and whole entire interview day was very disorganized, as if they threw this whole thing together last minute or something. Clinical rotations are not even in the city, most are in NJ which sounds like a pain. School seemed pretty dead and dreary during the tour, as there were no students around and this was not during a winter break." Report Response
