What impressed you positively?

A lot of things. It's obvious that med students here get incredible clinical training, among the best in the country. Also, everyone was really friendly and seemed genuinely happy there (I think it's pretty obvious when this is an act).

What impressed you negatively?

Not much, although I didn't like how I had to miss out of the financial aid presentation because I was in the afternoon interviewing group.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That everyone is so laid back and there really was no reason to be nervous.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was good. My interviewer had obviously read my personal statement and secondary essay responses closely, so it made me feel like he actually cared. The interview was mainly just to get to know me, no real curveballs.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
