nothing surprising; they only see a brief summary of your AMCAS file, which they get the day or your interview, so you spend most of the time recreating your file and going more in depth here or there.

What impressed you positively?

Outstanding facilities. Safe and convenient campus. Great hospital affiliates for your clerkships. High Board Scores. Strong campus life (a pro and a con)

What impressed you negatively?

Students were not as impressive/bright/well-rounded as at other schools. I met several great folks, but I also met a few duds who probably won't want to deal directly with conscious patients. I mentioned I was just recently engaged to one student and he said, "Get a pre-nup." He wasn't being mean-spirited. Just voicing his own concerns. Otherwise, the fact that 80% of students live in campus dorms is a big consideration. It saves a bit of money, since the immediate area is so expensive, but it also makes for a continuation of the u-grad lifestyle for most folks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All in all, a mixed bag. There are a lot of pluses (see above); my interviewer was a great person, and I really liked the folks in Admissions.
