The professionalism of the school, the course we watched for a few minutes, and the overall vibe of the school. The interviewers also had our file for a week, so they really knew each of us. Great interview.

The buildings are shabby and there's no wireless internet access. But the schools attitude and professionalism impressed me enough to not care about external appearances.

How amazing the anatomy lab is, it is one of the best smelling I have ever been in. And how amazing the other applicants are. My group was full of the most impressive people I have ever met.
