How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, My AMCAS and secondary applications.

What impressed you positively?

UK is my first choice so I was already impressed. The students are super-friendly and the class schdule is awesome(8-12)most days your first year. Award-winning professors and a lovely admissions staff.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The fact that my grades were such a focus as opposed to the rest of my application which I believe is strong made me a little sad, but I believe it was their right to wonder about my grades and I was very honest in answering questions related to this topic.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a good experience. The new dean of the college came to speak with us and he is super-nice and accomodating. My first interviewer was a pathologist and an absolute sweetheart who had decided to become a doctor in her 30's. My second interview was with the former dean of the college and he was awesome as well. I enjoyed his straightforward mannerism and he seemed to posess a sense of humor, which was great and helped me relax.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
