What impressed you positively?

since Im there practically everyday,i thought the school was small, but the tour made me realize that it was actually bigger than I thought

What impressed you negatively?

i had to sit on a couch that was lower than the interviewers seat, so i kind of felt intimidated. The interview wasn't conversational. I did NOT get to ask any questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Im from Rutgers University NB. and work in the research towers so I felt really comfortable knowing that i had an interview with a phd. I think I may have been too relaxed becasue 1/2 way into the interview I felt like i was being grilled about my project...understandable....But I found it a bit nerveracking that he really made me prove why I want to be a doctor and seemed to question all my answers. BUt in all, It went pretty well. I hope I get in
