How did you prepare for the interview?

looked over my amcas, read their website

What impressed you positively?

Seems like clinical experience would be great (they have a clinical skills lab and the school is attached to the hospital). Interviewer and staff were friendly and nice. Students seemed pretty happy.

What impressed you negatively?

Not in safest/nicest area of Newark. Parking looks like its a major problem (street parking is a no no). No housing (need to commute from suburbs). No formal presentation from admissions staff so it feels very informal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not in a safe area, get there early because parking fills up

What are your general comments?

The clinical experience seems like it would be great. Administration seems student-friendly. Bad area of Newark (car may be necessary). Laid back interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
