How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the paper, had a beer, went to bed early.

What impressed you positively?

The only positive thing was that my hotel was close enough to the school so that I could walk to the interview. Oh yeah, nice gymnasium, when it's open.

What impressed you negatively?

It had that high school/fraternity atmosphere going on. I looked up the stats for students going here and the MCAT scores and GPA were pretty low. ALso, the pass rate on boards is below what I consider to be acceptable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would dislike the experience so much.

What are your general comments?

WOuld not go here unless they accepted me, gave me a full scholarship, and paid me a monthly stipend.
