What impressed you negatively?

"Their attitude both at the interview day and before/after was that they were better than me and I was a lowly applicant with no options other than to do exactly what they ask. They messed up things on my application and were unfriendly in every interaction. I was really rooting for them, but came away disappointed. Also, the tour was way too short and was not informative at all. The medical campus is absolutely beautiful and the tour could have been done much better. The grading system is very undesirable. I do not want to compete with my classmates, I've been doing that for four years and want a more collegial atmosphere. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The CBL was alright, though the leader was laid back to the point that it was annoying and he seemed to think he was extremely cool. Also, the other interviewees were typical pre-meds trying to impress each other with their EC's and I was not interested in this. Also, the general feel from the students (not admins) was that the school was "alright" and "wouldn't hurt your future". The students were unenthusiastic about the school and seemed as if they went their because it was their state school (i.e. "cheap") or was their only option. ** Disclaimer: I only interacted with a few students and others may behave differently. Plus, I still like the school because of the wonderful facilities, research opportunities and pretty good hospital. Give it a chance and I truly hope you have a different experience than I did **" Report Response
