hey guys!
it seems like many of you have had interviews (and congrats to those who got accepted!) and i was wondering...which schools seemed to have the happiest/relaxed students. i know the opinion is probably very biased upon who you bumped into that day, but if you have any input that would be awesome. thanks!
take care,

Hi All, I'd like to see your responses for the "stressed out" version of the above thread? Thanks.

NJMS
Columbia (I know some would not agree with me, but I honestly felt this way)
Downstate
Tufts

NYMC
Maryland-though my 1st time interviewing there was on an exam day and 2nd time students seemed somewhat better. Most of the students I knew in their clinical years at UMAB seemed more overwhelmed and sleep-deprived than anywhere else.. that being said, I still think it's a great school.

Maybe they're making up for that fixed 6 month "rural medicine" rotation. I imagine that would be something of a snoozer.

Adding UChicago and Mayo. UChicago's MSTP encourages competitiveness, but I didn't get to hear/see anything about the medical school since the interview processes are COMPLETELY separate there. Everything at Mayo seemed like "We're Mayo, we need to kick some ***". The high 8 - 5 classroom time at both of those schools must be killer. It's not my style at all.

Kinda random and off topic, but every male student I su at BU was short, like under 5'7"

spooky 😱
