What are your general comments?
One faculty interviewer came in twenty minutes late, hadn't even opened up my file, nor did she know anything about the admissions process. She had just moved to Utah and she hadn't even heard of Utah State University. The second interviewer was a nice 4th year student. Both kept asking me about other med schools I was applying to and why in the world I would want to attend those schools rather than the U. I thought it was very irrelevant.

School's website.
What was the most difficult question?

What impressed you positively?
Location next to the mountains!
What impressed you negatively?
The shear arrogance and the "holier than though" attitude of the faculty and students.
