I fell asleep during a large part of the talks and especial the financial aid stuff.
One of my interviews was short also.
I thought the anatomy lab was cool also, but I didn't get to talk to many studnets. I wish I had had the chance to interact more with students.
Hey Texas Fool!
Haha.. did they notice you fall asleep? Thanks for reassuring me that your interview was short. I was worried.
We didn't have a financial aid presentation on my day. The lady wasn't there, so the Dean gave a abridged version.
I think you'll have a great time when you go there. The students were really great--not just the ones who led the tour and had lunch with us, but pretty much everyone I ran into. My tour guides were so off the wall and funny.. they made it a point to show us the extra special bathrooms in the clinical skills center, wtih the gorilla shrine. At one point, this was my tour guide:
"And at Toledo we are known for having some of the most beautiful people of all med schools." [Pulls aside some random Asian guy walking down the hallway] "In fact, here's one now!" [The guy turns out to be his roommate..]
Total hams, it was a lot of fun. They were so down to earth and nice.
Even in the class we sat in on, all the students were so friendly to one another--everyone was chatting during the breaks. It didn't look like there were really cliques. People were going back and forth between rows, explaining things to each other. To be honest it had a really festive atmosphere actually!
And the teacher was really amazing too. I don't know her name...she was teaching anatomy. But she basically presented a lot of intro concepts upfront. Like, all the questions I would have not asked because I thought they are too stupid to ask, she clarified at the outset. ("Remember guys.. what does efferent mean again?") Just spectacular..
Does anyone know why they stopped giving tours of Toledo city? I read in the interview feedback that they used to give tours of the city. They didn't on my day. I was really looking forward to it =(
