What impressed you positively?

The admissions staff was extremely outgoing and friendly. The other students who were interviewing were also very friendly. There seemed to be no pressure or competition.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything seemed very average. The medical student tour guides were neither excited nor disappointed about their decision to go to the school. The facilities were not brand new or state-of-the-art, but they seemed adequate and well maintained.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have a Clinical Skills Center that utilizes standardized patients and two mannequins to simulate live patients. The school is very proud of both.

What are your general comments?

It was extremely conversational, nonintimidating, and pressure free. My interviewer was laid back, but seemed very interested in what I had to say. Talking with him was the highlight of the day and sparked my interest in the school.
