How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at this site, reviewed my resume and my personal statement. Also looked at websites about healthcare.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was sooo nice! It was obvious to me that the students were happy there. They were all enthusiastic and came up and talked to me just to be nice. It was a great atmosphere. Also, the work out center was amazing!! Oh, I also liked how the students are only in class until about 12:30 every day, as opposed to sitting through lectures until 5pm. There was a lot more emphasis on group learning than at some schools.

What impressed you negatively?

There was basically only one building where students could study. The building was really nice; it's just a lot different that medical schools that are on a huge campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

It was great!! I loved it and I know that I'd be happy going there!! I got my acceptance letter and I am definitely considering it. Everyone was so nice and it seems like a great place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
