What impressed you positively?

anatomy lab

What impressed you negatively?

the interviewers were very cold. As others posted, I did not feel that the interviewers cared about getting to know me. It was just ask the standard questions and then get out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I would dislike the school and how full of themselves they are.

What are your general comments?

Very negative. It was nice that students stopped in during the day to wish us luck. The interview experience, was, shall I say, lacking any intellectual stimulation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
