How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, school's website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The new facility being built in Sac, the student run clinics

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negatively impressed my really. It's just that the bucolic setting of the med school, combined with the seemingly medicated happiness of the students, made me feel like I was visiting a cult commune out in Nebraska or something. I think I might need a little more stimulation outside of school and my studies than Davis and Sac can offer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whole thing felt a little disorganized.

What are your general comments?

Standard, low stress interview. Good school that can stimulate my mind but can also manage to massage it to mush with its blandness.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
