What impressed you positively?

The students were very nice and they were very straight forward with their answers, including their likes and dislikes of the school. The school makes a concerted effort to have the applicants meet as many medical students, professors, and staff members through pizza parties, luncheons, etc. I felt that I gained a good overall sense of what the school is like from these people. Finally, the people I met were extremely helpful and most of them gave me their contact information in case I had any further questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I heard over and over again how relaxed and casual the interview is but I was still nervous since it was my first one. Really, there was no need for me to be worried. The interviewer was great at carrying the conversation along and was very friendly.
