What are your general comments?

"Unlike most midwest MSTPs, they do not pay interview expenses. In fact, they didn't pay for hardly anything. I had a student host, a student to pick me up and drive me to the airport, etc... There were a number of interviews, all of which were crammed into one insane long day, instead of two like most schools. One of my MD interviewers could barely speak English and wasn't much of an interview. My student interviewer was pretty... stuffy... and I hear from a current student there that he is a real a**hole in general. In general the faculty, the applicants, and the current students seemed more stuffy than anywhere else I interviewed, and this was backed up by those I know at the school. Regardless, it's still a top med school with a huge medical center and alot of great faculty." Report Response
