How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The school is high-tech (wireless campus) and the faculty seems to really care about the students. They are also building a new student lounge and gym.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is in a suburban area (there's not much around) and is about 20 minutes away from Center City. It is also a really small and confined campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

The interview with a faculty member was really conversational and relaxed. The student interview is over lunch (which makes it a little hard to eat and talk at the same time) but it was also really relaxed too. In general, very low stress (except this was my first interview so I was a little bit more stressed than need be).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
