It was a tedious. Southwestern was a little hard to get excited about. I know it's a fantastic school, but it doesn't have the spark that other schools have.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at this site, read my application

What impressed you positively?

The student center and the calm of the campus. It seemed safer than the other places I had been. There seemed to be a welcoming administration, and the senior videos were a neat tradition.

What impressed you negatively?

The students I talked to seemed unhappy and kind of dull. Maybe it was exam time, but they seemed to have this, "school is awful; we're just surviving" attitude. The rigid curriculum and inflexible clinicals are a turn off. Also, one of my interviewers pretty much said, "you must choose Southwestern," and maybe it's immature, but I wanted to say, "play hard to get!"

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Come up with way more questions than you think you need, because everyone will ask you what you want to know. You seriously have 50 opportunities to ask questions.
