What are your general comments?

"When I got to the international house the night before my interview, I first realized that it was a dorm and NOT a hotel. I did not have a towel, a clock, or a pillow and finding a place to eat on a Sunday night was not easy. (The pillow/towel thing seems to be an exception...everyone else who interviewed with me had these supplied to them at the international house.) After a bunch of complaining, I decided to try not to let this housing experience alter my impression of the school. The next morning, however, went much better. When I first got there, we were offered food and coffee. Then, the Dean talked about why we should go to Pritzker. My first interviewer, a fourth year student, was EXTREMELY friendly. My second interview was with the undergraduate pre-medical advisor who also sits on the Pritzker admissions committee. She was also very nice. My last interview was with the Dean. He was super! Finally, my overall impression is that the students are extremely cooperative and encouraging. I had two people in different circumstances offer to take me to the train station to get to O'Hare. Overall, Chicago was great!" Report Response
