How did you prepare for the interview?

Read AMCAS app, read the material on Vandy's website, spoke with current students.

What impressed you positively?

The students! All of the current students I met seem to be having a wonderful experience at Vanderbilt and in Nashville. Their enthusiasm, even after just finishing finals, certainly improved my opinion of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

A bit too much down time, but it was understandable, given that finals had finished the day before and many of the students were leaving for break.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How prevalent the southern influence would be (attitudes, hospitality, use of the term "y'all", etc).

What are your general comments?

Great experience. I would now consider Vanderbilt my top choice, even over more highly-ranked institutions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
