How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, School's website

What impressed you positively?

How small the class size is (52). This promotes quite cohesive atmosphere, and the students all seemed really happy. I also got a chance to sit in on one of the classes, and thought the instructor was amazing! Very dynamic and had the whole class laughing for most of the lecture.

What impressed you negatively?

The main campus at UNR is nice, but the part where the med schools (all three buildings) is pretty barren. The insides of the buildings were fine. My interview schedule was changed the day before my interview, so I had a lot of downtime between my interviews and tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall I was impressed by the school. I was not too sure about Reno, and although I am not terribly enthusiastic about the city, the school, faculty an staff was encouraging and friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
