Waiting to see if I get into Penn/Duke/Columbia/UCSF to decide whether to take the UChicago scholarship; I loved the school, but I don\'t want to look back in 4 years and regret making a decision solely based on financial concerns.
Overall, do what you love, show you love it, and you\'ll do fine!
Summary of Experience:
Very disorganized interview day (i.e. we were left to find offices by ourselves in sweltering heat and suits); chill people...almost too chill?
Summary of Experience:
Great facilities, I love Dean Silverman. I had a really terrible interview experience here, but that\'s an anomaly. New Haven is a great city for 4 years.
Summary of Experience:
I was prepared to hate St. Louis, but the Central West End is really nice. Great new buildings. Students were a little socially awkward. I had a sweetheart interviewer, but the things she liked about WashU are true of any major academic medical center.
Summary of Experience:
The nicest, happiest students. Faculty I met were so down-to-earth. I\'m not crazy about Philly or the Northeast feel of the place. But overall, one of the all-around best schools I interviewed at.
Summary of Experience:
Absolutely amazing faculty. My fellow interviewees here were the coolest. Everyone I met was super friendly. Beautiful part of SF. Loved it.
Summary of Experience:
Accepted with ~85% tuition covered. Amazing school, tons of interdisciplinary options, nice people; I loved Hyde Park; a lot of people go there for the money (I heard that from many students).
Summary of Experience:
Coolest people I met anywhere. Not too Southern. Cramming everything into one year seems intense, and their board scores suffer.
Summary of Experience:
PBL sounds like not the best fit for my learning style. The dorms are scary for someone who has lived in apartments before (no kitchen, shared bathrooms).
Summary of Experience:
I interviewed on a Friday and was accepted the next Tuesday. Super fast turnaround. Really, really expensive out of state (and you never become a resident once you enter med school...). Really nice, normal people and the BEST facilities. Denver is surprisingly expensive to live in, however.
Summary of Experience:
New building and new curriculum next year. Really nice, low-key people. I\'m scared of being a guinea pig for a new curriculum, and Charlottesville is too small for me.
Summary of Experience:
Tied with Colorado for best facilities. Nashville is a fun town. Students were super friendly. Sometimes felt like a sorority/frat scene (a little Southern).
