What impressed you positively?

"Nice facilities, medical center is huge; the people in WI are incredibly nice (coming from CA, it's going to be an interesting adjustment, but my wife and I loved the environment/people); also, the school is in Wauwatosa, not Milwaukee (it's a nicer suburban area)" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I think I gained a false sense of security from my faculty interview (she looked like a young, sweet physician); but she was SUPER difficult to crack a smile or laugh. She gave me that question about the daughter and every answer that I had, she responded with a quick rebuttal, almost cutting me off. All in all, the interview must have gone well (because I just got my acceptance!!!), but she was a bit tough. The student interviewer was way laid back and supportive." Report Response
