How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to friends at Pitt, looked at Pitt's brochre, and read comments on this site

What impressed you positively?

The UPitt area of town is pretty nice and cozy. The 1st year students did not seem overly stressed out even though they were in the midst of a few exams. Very clean anatomy labs. Pittsburgh is EXTREMELY cheap!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have prepared better questions for the admissions committee member with whom I had a 15 minute interview

What are your general comments?

Pretty well run day. Started off with some short talks and a tour by the staff, followed by an early lunch. Then you have an interview with a student, one with faculty, and a 15 minute one with a member of the admissions committee
