What impressed you positively?

"The enthusiasm of students. I met two 4th years, on the way to my second interview, who gave me their take on school at Tulane. The two 2nd years who gave the tour were great as well. The lunch with a 2nd year student was also a nice touch. It gave me a chance to hear a personal story of how this student adjusted to life in medical school." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The city is still re-building and will be for a while. Having the chance to be part of this re-building process could be a negative or positive depending on what you want." Report Response

"Seeing the state of the city first-hand gave me more information. I am able to better gauge how I would feel being there for 4 years. Wear comfortable shoes, you will be walking a fair amount." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day started at 8am and ended about 4pm, though typically everyone will be finished by about 230pm. Tulane definitely does a great job of showing and validating the idea that they want students who desire to be great physicians AND have active interests outside of medicine. " Report Response
