How did you prepare for the interview?

Read available material, SDN, etc.

What impressed you positively?

THE CLINICAL FACILITIES--yeah, they're amazing!, I absolutely adored Boston, Vandy wasn't as awful as I thought

What impressed you negatively?

The students were weird, very few white people, so many Harvard kids, and the admissions people screwed up my schedule

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are changing to a 1.5 semester basic sciences curriculum and making all of an individual's third year rotations in one hospital.

What are your general comments?

We arrived at 8:15 with a nice talk from a faculty member about the facilities, curriculum, life, etc. Then I sat around all morning. I went on the 'self-directed' tour, but really they just sent you on a footpath through everything without any real information about the places you were in. Then lunch at like a snack bar in the MEC (the main student academic building). Then we had a tour of the MEC and Vandy. Then I had two interviews and I finished around 5:45.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
