How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, read through my secondary, SDN, talked to current students.

What impressed you positively?

Many things -- the city of Charlottesville is wonderful -- no wonder it was recently voted the best city in America to live. The students seemed generally happy and the curriculum is great. And lunch was amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

That clerkships can be in some far-away (and very small) places. It would be difficult to be away for months at a time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The day was nice -- intro by the assistant dean of admissions, tour by a fourth-year, wonderful lunch, and then two interviews (both were with faculty). The financial aid presentation after all the interviews were over was really helpful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
