What impressed you positively?

The weather, the campus is brand new and beautiful, that they have Harvey (cardiac patient simulator), clinical experiences from week 1, possiblilities to travel abroad to do clinics, they have the Dolphins practice facility right on campus, there's an undergrad college, near the beach, the students were nice and loved it, and the Dean was awesome!

What impressed you negatively?

The students did seem a bit stressed- they were in the midst of exams. So many students that you also have to share your cadaver with a whole other group- so you don't get to do/see all of the dissection!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it would be 85 and sunny lots of the year!

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was a little stressful- there was a clinician who was very nice, another woman who was very nice, and the third woman HATED me. Or so I felt. I dealt well with the other two people's questions, they smiled and seemed satisfied with my answers. The third woman asked me to clarify and asked me things with a scowl on her face. I smiled and tried to be polite, but man did she not seem to like me. She must have been the one on the board because I got waitlisted :(
