What impressed you positively?

"The facilities are beautiful. The people are extremely nice. St. Louis is not ideal, but neither is it a pit. It actually has many diversions and cultural features for those few moments that you might spend away from the books in medical school." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interview was actually 80 minutes in length -- we ran 20 minutes over the hour allotted for the interview. However, of those 80 minutes, I may have spent 10 talking and the remainder listening. It was a bit disconcerting, and gave the impression that the interviewer wasn't particularly interested in me, but I hear from friends who have interviewed here that such an experience seems to be isolated." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
