What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"how confusing the medical center area is. i roamed around a lot of buildings before finding the administration building. and that there would be no water at the orientation. bit parched." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"i wasn't overly impressed by the interview. it wasn't bad, and i wouldn't mind attending if i'm accepted, but i wouldn't be overjoyed. the buildings are great, and the fact that there is nature on campus is also a bonus. 3rd and 4th year rotations in nyc is a definite plus, but i just didn't really get the sense that i would enjoy 4 years there."
