What impressed you positively?

The morning sessions are extremely informative. You really get a sense for what they have to offer. I think that the curriculum is set up beautifully. The weekly PBL and the immediate exposure to patient care is phenomenal. Also, they have not given out all of their acceptances before you get there, so you are actually competing for an available spot.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

That neither interviewer asked me if I had questions. Not that I did, but I was expecting them to ask.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews are in the afternoon, and they occur in real time. You never know if you are going to be called for an interview, or a tour. You are just kind of waiting around.

What are your general comments?

I thought it was great. They tell you everything you need to know about the school. I also like having 2 interviews because you get a different perspective from each person. Plus, you have a chance to mention things in the second interview that you may have left out of the first.
