How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely nice, the facilities are brand new... Nice weather

What impressed you negatively?

Prosections instead of dissections... the anatomy lab smelled of fresh flowers... I would rather get down and dirty and dissect the cadavers myself,

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

ABSOLUTELY NO COFFEE ANYWHERE BUT THE LOUNGE... ok... I can't understand how you can survive med school without an expresso in one hand and a book in another...

What are your general comments?

I hated the interview itself... I was fortunate to have a really cold interview... The two gave no facial expressions while they just ran down a list of questions....

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
