I was just wondering as to how many people Rosalind Franklin accept and if they are on rolling admissions. Also what did you guys think of it?

I liked the school. My tour guides were nice, though that was really the only student interaction my interview group had. The location of the campus seems really depressing...but then again, that is only for the first two years when people are studying all the time anyway. Downtown chicago and surrounding areas are a great place to do your clinical rotations.

The immediate town around the school is depressing, yes, but the school is actually situated not too distant from some extremely nice neighborhoods - Lincolnshire, lake forest, Evanston...could be much worse! Moreover, as you said, you have your nose buried in books the first two years anyhow.

The students I talked with (30 of them via email) all like it! They love their teachers, each other and going to that school. Location is the only gripe.
