How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, reviewed my AMCAS and secondaries

What impressed you positively?

not much

What impressed you negatively?

my first interviewer was fifteen minutes late, and she didn't even give me extra time in the end. The schedule was poorly put together, I had nothing to do for two hours and then in the afternoon, there was no time alloted for lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The admissions's office did not help you find the rooms or parking. Get there atleast 30-60 minutes early, becuase the its hard to find parking, the buildings and the rooms.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviewers, the first interview was 15 min, the second was about 30 min. There was a tour of the school and a lecture on financial aid in between my interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
