What impressed you positively?

The students seem really happy. They have a lot of really fun traditions and the students seem to be involved in a lot of activities outside of med school. My interviewer was fantastic. The interview was a conversation, not an interogation. No tough questions were asked. The only information she had about me was my AMCAS so we talked a lot about my activities and interests. Also, the new children's hospital is incredible!

What impressed you negatively?

The students spend a lot of time in class, more so than at other schools I've visited.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how cold it was going to be.

What are your general comments?

The day is very relaxed and low stress. The other students interviewing were a lot of fun and very friendly. The staff is friendly too and they have good suggestions about how to get to know the school better (watch the Cadaver Ball dvd). The interview is REALLY casual and is just a long conversation. The interviewers only have your AMCAS so they only bring up experiences listed there. The student lunch and tour is nice as well. All of the facilities seem nice and the students are really informative. Nashville seems like a really great place to spend 4 years.
