This was my first interview and Jefferson made a good start. The presenters were informative and enthusiastic. The student interview was casual and I spent most of my time asking her questions on the topics that interested me. It was a good opportunity to get an insider's perspective on the school. My faculty interviewer was friendly and seemed to know my file well - I was surprised at the detailed review of my AMCAS application.
