How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, current medical students' help, read my appl., read school's website

What impressed you positively?

The students here are awesome: helpful, laid back, friendly. Our tour guide was open to answering any and all quesions frankly.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer could have been a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. It was a quasi stress interview...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had prepared better for a stress interview. I was more prepared for a conversational interview.

What are your general comments?

The school is great. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the students here like to have fun. The facilities are nice and newly renovated in some parts, and others need to be worked up a bit. My interviewer was supposed to be conversational, but ended up as him asking me one question after another, more like a grilling session. Some of the questions were very tough. Overall, my experience was +ve and I would not mind attending here in the least.
