I second what Harps said. The weekend was awesome. The people (current first years I met and classmates to be) were great. The fears that I had about Stanford's clinical experience were all dispelled. The place had such a warm fuzzy feel that I would be very hard for anyone to turn it down - after being at the admit weekend.
Just to fill in the blanks for the OP:
The presentations were on curriculum and what the administration is aiming for with the new curriculum. They are proud of their research repute but they are also VERY interested in training good clinicians. Of course, they bragged about the flexibility of the curriculum which truly is a cool thing. I was under the impression that one had to do research witht the new scholarly concentrations. However, i met at least one person who was not doing any research - she was just doing a scholarly project. Also there is great diversity and flexibility (yes again!)in the concentrations. I met a ton of people who were interested in international health policy and were creating their own concentration taking bits and pieces from the community health concentration.
The mentoring presentation was ok...but they will have more of that at orientation.
The financial aid presentation was next. they gave people the award letters. most people were happy with the aid that they got. In case you aren't, they encourage you to go talk to the fin aid office, to sort things out in a mutually acceptable way. This was affirmed by many of the students.
The clinical panel was awesome. I feel like the students were being honest about the problems and also about the good stuff. I think Stanford clinical issues get exaggerated. Its a mixed bag, anyone can have a bad rotation. But it is surely not the norm. And the new curriculum is supposed to prepare people better for the clinical years. Also people had concerns about the lack of diversity. That is not an issue either because students rotate through 5 area hospitals and have chances to do away rotations. Valley Med is one of the affiliated hospitals and that is very diverse.
The housing tours are cool too. Stanford West is probbaly the most coveted residency now. The others weren't bad...kinda dorm style with tiny kitchens.
The luau was at someone's (i think dean of student affairs) house. it was just fun and laid back. Just a really nice gesture.
The talent show was lot of fun. I thought the politcal satire was hilarious. And they have some pretty talented people among the first years.
Basically my reasons for going to stanford now in order of importance are: location (close to family), people who i'll be going to school with, curriculum (less PBL, lectures available on video), financial aid, stanford evironment (friendly and fosters your personal interests besides plain old medicine>
I gotta get some work done now. i am sure I left out stuff and someone esle will add more. But I am semi lurker making my contribution.
Ok, that's the end of my thread hijacking... back to Stanford.
