What impressed you positively?

The students are friendly, and the facilities are very modern. The city is beautiful too.

What impressed you negatively?

The library is crappy right now, and the construction seems so widespread that as one project ends another begins.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was asked nothing about my grades or tests. The whole interview was about information given in the biography portion of the AMCAS application. I was asked very few practical questions and those that were asked were extremely detailed and impossible to answer.

What are your general comments?

The school and the people who comprise it are amazing. Nothing could have been done to make the experience more positive. However, my second interviewer did not show up and the interviewer who did attend was very detail-oriented. He asked the most detailed questions and was unsatisfied with my answers, even when his answers were the same as mine just using different words. Overall, it went well I think.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
