What impressed you positively?

The human anatomy lab didn't stink (cadavers were covered when we were there). Everyone was friendly and helpful. Very low stress atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

Cafeteria food.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

We didn't have a break to eat until 1PM. If you tend to need food every few hours, carry a small snack or eat just before you enter the building.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview. Glad it wasn't stressful! There were 6 other applicants that I met in the morning during a short "getting to know you" session with the dean. We all went our separate ways for two one-on-one 45 min. interviews (1 faculty, 1 student), but we were together again for the tour/lunch/PBL session (doesn't count as part of interview). I was impressed by the attention the Dean and Asst. Dean of Student Affairs gave to everyone as an individual. One woman in our group had a short (10 min.) interview with a faculty member because a pipe burst. The Dean met with her in the afternoon and interviewed her to make sure she got everything across that she wanted to.
