How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews, read both supplemental and accomas in detail.

What impressed you positively?

-Pretty campus -Metropolitan New York rotations -Clinical facility on the campus -Enthusiastic tour guides -Large number of students of color and muslim students -African American woman dean (never mind who she's related to)

What impressed you negatively?

-Huge class size (290) -While it was by far the most diverse student body I saw, the social scene seemed very segregated.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was what I expected but a bit nicer.

What are your general comments?

I knew this was the school I was going to end up at (barring admission to a metropolitan east coast MD granting school) from the moment I got out of the cab. The feeling only increased when I met the Dean (who has great style by the way) and continued into my interview where after a rapid fire discussion about cooking, the human cost of archeological preservation and a few other curious topics the interviewer told me he was trying to recruit more students like me for his school. My interviewer talked VERY fast.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
