Tuition and location. They will not be changing to wireless internet any time soon.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Third year rotations need to be conducted in WV but are not close to the school. Most people have to pick up and move for the third and fourth year rotations.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interview went really well. I had the interviewers laughing so it made things a little bit less stressful. I was myself and did not try to say what they wanted to hear, I answered each question honestly and to the best of my ability. They asked me a lot about the things in my application. It seemed like they memorized it!! Overall I would say that it was pretty laid back despite my high level of stress.
