How did you prepare for the interview?

Tried to relax as much as possible, read over personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

Both of the doctors who interviewed me were very friendly and easy to talk to. The stress-level was very low.

What impressed you negatively?

I arrived on time for my first interview but had to wait ten minutes while the doctor finished interviewing another student. I almost ended up being late for my second interview because of the delay in getting started.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I interviewed at LSU-Shreveport last year too, so since I am a reapplicant, the interview was very low-frills. There were only four of us, all reapplicants. There was no tour since we already had that last year, just two 30 minute interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
