What impressed you positively?

the staff is extremely nice. dean pisano is a really great guy. the curriculum is really great. lots of clinical exposure early on (if you choose).

What impressed you negatively?

the area is not too safe. new orleans is weird - one street may be safe but half a block down its a whole different story.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

dean pisano is retiring in 10 days so i dont know how the school is going to change without him. the man has singlehandedly made the school into what it is now.. so who knows what its going to be like after he leaves.

What are your general comments?

the interviews are absolutely no stress. this was my first itnerview so i was pretty nervous but there was no reason to be. my first interviewer was the retired navy man that everyone talks about. he's great to interview with - he just basically talks the whole time and tells you a bunch of funny anecdotes. the next thing you know your interview is over. next i interviewed with dean pisano. his is open file but the others are closed file. i got the impression that he had already decided whether or not he liked me from my application because he didn't ask me too many questions. he's interesting to talk to - no grilling or tough questions even though he's the big man on campus. he'll just ask you questions directly from your application.
