What impressed you positively?

The way the interview is conducted. Although the group setting is a little intimidating, you have the opportunity to learn about your fellow candidates and their experiences. Dr. Haight makes this venue a reassuring atmosphere for everyone.

What impressed you negatively?

The view from the campus was of the old navy shipyard - expected it to be more serene. Anatomy lab was very nice, though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All candidates for that day were interviewing for the Las Vegas campus

What are your general comments?

The interview was a positive experience. I think they have it down to a science, and Dr. Haight's experience with admissions and premedical students resounds while he is casually talking with the group. He also puts any uneasiness to rest, answering questions, etc. The interview itself was good. I was asked more questions than I expected to be asked (going from previous feedback here). I thought each candidate was given a reasonable and equal amount of time for answering questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
