How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing my app and being familiar with opportunities at this school.

What impressed you positively?

Proximity of classes and rotations and opportunities at multiple campuses in years 3-4.

What impressed you negatively?

Slightly disorganized and too much downtime. I had 45 minutes with nothing to do before my final afternoon interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Everything is covered that day.

What are your general comments?

Laid back atmosphere and very welcoming.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More organized day. Some interviewees finished before lunch and could leave after tour. Some had afternoon interviews and had 45 minutes to kill beforehand. Either get everyone on the same schedule or provide more specific time fillers.
