sdn, vandy website, read up on health policy, read amcas app

What impressed you positively?

children's hospital is amazing, though eerily empty. all of the construction is also impressive - shows how successful hospital is

the curriculum is straight up old school. real patient interaction isn't introduced until third year and for the first 2 yrs, you're in lecture from 8-5

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

day ends early (2 ish). book your flight for 4, or else you'll be hanging around in the admissions lounge for a long time.

What are your general comments?

good first interview to have. interviewer very friendly and went out of his way to find out more about my interests. he'd thoroughly gone over my amcas, so there was no pressure to reiterate everything already said in it
