Library looked nice, anatomy lab looked good too.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer showed up several hours late. Admissions staff was unorganized.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring money for lunch! The $5 lunch voucher they gave was barely enough to buy a drink and two small tacos.

What are your general comments?

Both interviewers were MD's. First interviewer was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in me as a person. He made me feel like a shoe-in. The second interviewer had a way of making me feel like I shouldn't have bothered to apply. Good cop/bad cop experience...definitely.
