What impressed you positively?

Nice campus.

What impressed you negatively?

Not as high tech school as I would have thought. Their anatomy lab was less high-tech than my Undergraduate University human anatomy lab. Very rural! No cultural life what so ever. No student Housing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Try to make up a lot of questions to seem like your really intersted in their school during the interview.

What are your general comments?

Well I was second to last to go, so I had 2 1/2 hrs to walk around the very small campus. There was nothing to do except get more nervous, also sat in a lecture. The Professor had a long pony-tail and was a male. Didn't give a great professional experience. The interviewers didn't seem to personal to me. They weren't until they said do you have anything else to add at the end and I just put in all the stuff I felt like they should know like my strengths and stuff that I thought they would have asked me, but didn't. They did seem pleased when I took initiative, So if they don't seem personal at first just say what your going to say. Gotta fight for your spot!
