What are your general comments?

Interviews were very relaxed. Interviewers knew my application almost better than I did, and asked a lot about it. If you've gotten this far in the process you can relax and be yourself. They just want to know if you and the school are a good fit.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN (very helpful), looked over AMCAS and Secondary

What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusiastic about the school and gave valid reasons for it (versus just stating that "it's a really good school"). The organization of the curriculum and supportive atmosphere were also impressiive.

What impressed you negatively?

Although there are places to go around town, the school is somewhat isolated. No campus life per se.
