How did you prepare for the interview?

SD.net, read over amcas (the interviewers do not see your vandy secondary app), scanned website, practice answering questions out loud.

What impressed you positively?

I think everyone says this about vandy, but the satisfaction of the students...they are just all around happy to be there

What impressed you negatively?

not much of a tour, didn't get to see the hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the interviewer is not on the admissions committee, he simply writes a letter to the committee about your interview with him

What are your general comments?

Overall it was really good, the faculty, administration and students were all super nice and friendly. They just built an awesome new childrens hospital that is really cool. You are escorted to your actual interview, so dont worry about getting lost. Definately a top notch school.
