read my AMCAS, their website, this website

What impressed you positively?

Ms. Berry is really nice. Other than that, nothing really, except I've never seen another hospital with escalators.

What impressed you negatively?

The location, the fact that I don't think my interviewer listened to me

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to be Rosh Hashanah and there would be no one around. It was hard to get a feel for the atmosphere of the school

What are your general comments?

Overall, not good just because I don't think my interviewer got to know me well enough to present me to the ad com. I really tried to state my case, but he kept cutting me off. Not in a rude way, he was just a quirky guy.
