What are your general comments?

even though the day was quite long (from 10ish to 4), it went by really quickly. The majority of time was spent presenting information to us. The interviews were REALLY stress free, the only stress being how nervous I made myself, but it was all for naught. My interviewers were so relaxed and it was really a conversation rather than a question-interview period.

What impressed you positively?

the simulation lab, the artificial heart, the extreme FRIENDLINESS of everyone there. I had expected it, but was still surprised when I encountered it. Also, they want to ensure not only that you are a good fit for the school, but that the school is a good fit for you. It seems like they are genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of their students/potential students.

lack of public transportation - you either have to have a car, or know someone who does

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

all of the medical innovations the school has been involved in
