How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The entire school. Somepeople look down on the school because its not top quaility but for me I like it, gave me a sense of nitty gritty, that the adminstration doesn't want to make it all pretty just functional.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I think it was ok, I wasn't nervous and I planned on "owning the room" so to speak when I went into interview. When the interview was being conducted the interviewer didn't have much time to ask me many other questions about other topics than my AMCAS app. But I really like the school, although its not for everyone
