What impressed you positively?

"I really liked the big campus feel, I also liked the suburban atmosphere. It was a cool older but clean campus. Their sim lab seemed to be pretty good, clinics were a little above average. You have a lot of opportunities for great research, if you are into doing d-school research and if you aren't, they are cool with that too. Right now they rank 3rd in the country for research, based on NIH grants and publications." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"It seemed like they have issues scheduling and getting patients to show up. They said patients dont show up 1/3 of the time and you have to find other stuff to do. This seems like it happens at some other schools but it seemed like an especially big problem here." Report Response

"Exactly how the interviews would be conducted and that they would last 2 hours!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall, I really liked the school and to my surprise I really liked the interview format, unlike most others in my interview group. I thought they were fun and gave you the opportunity to think critically and discuss current issues, which I thought was really fun. I do agree though that it may be hard to gauge an applicant solely based off of that interview format. Some people thought they were very stressful but by the 2nd to 3rd station I was pretty relaxed and started enjoying it. As long as you keep up on current events, there shouldnt be any major concerns. Oh yeah and the interviews last for almost 2 hours! Dont worry, that time actually does fly by!" Report Response
