Hi all,

I am applying to medical school (DO/MD) school this coming year. I am hoping some people could give me some advice on what I should look for or question I would want to ask. So far I have the following:

1. Curriculum: Systems or intergrated

2. Where I could be aspect to do my clinicals: rural verses city, hospital vs clinic, all in the same city or dispersed throughout the state.

3. Tutition/ size of class, faculty student ratio, percent of drop outs, passing the boards.

4. How much time out side of lectures could I expect to meet with faculty? I have heard from some schools most of my extra tuturing would be from more advanced students rather then faculty, though one school even said professors would even meet with students on the weekends.

5. The school's affliated hospitals

Anything things else?

-Thanks in advance.

Try asking those questions YOU have specifically for each school you interview at, rather than standard rehearsed ones. Remember, you want to be as much of an individual as possible in your interviews, and any comments/questions you have that are rehearsed can be smelled a mile away. You will also learn a lot more about the school by asking what YOU really want to know about the school.
