ekkk! Like what types of things? I got an interview at RFU today too so I want to know if it's worth attending
Rosalind was my first interview. I'll preface this by saying that I do not want to talk crap about a school that might be someone's dream school or someone's only acceptance. I'm pretty sure any medical school in the country will give you a good education and that there are opportunities everywhere for great clinical and research experiences if you look for them.
That being said... I wasn't very impressed. I let the accreditation issue slide. It seemed like a minor issue and apparently it isn't that uncommon for a school to find itself temporarily on probation. Then I stumbled across a thread from early 2000's and RFU was on probation back then too! So that seems pretty disorganized of the school. It also was the only school where I interviewed who still uses the old style curriculum (first year normal anatomy and physiology, second year abnormal). Since everywhere else was bragging about their new curriculums, I felt like RFU was a little behind the times. Other than that, I just didn't get much sparkly feeling from the place. I did like the scenic location, how 80% of all students live in housing next to campus, and doing rotations in Chicago sounded fun.
