What impressed you positively?

The people we've met (faculty, students, community members) were very nice and open to questions.

What impressed you negatively?

A little bit more time needed to interact with students, but in the grand scheme of things, the day was well structured.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that there was an AMAZING lecture happening that afternoon. I stayed and attended anyway, but it would've been great to know what other such opportunities existed!

What are your general comments?

The two interviews were very laid back. My first interviewer was a volunteer who was a full-time neonatal physician in private practice. He was very helpful in describing what the school was like and did a great job in presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of the program for me. The second interview was with a research coordinator who asked very interesting questions that integrated into a smooth conversation. I hardly felt I was being interviewed!
