How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my file, tried to answer in my head the questions I thought might come about.

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight, as has been said time and again, is wonderful. He really makes you feel good about yourself, and is open about where the school is in terms of # of seats available, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Driving up to the campus is every bit as ugly as some make it out to be, but once you hit campus, you forget all that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

n/a

What are your general comments?

The anatomy lab is quite impressive and world-class. They were pinning the cadavers for first-year exams, so our tour guide wasn't allowed in, which was actually kind of nice because the professors preparing the exams talked to us for a while. The library is big, really nice, and set up kind of like a coffee shop. Lecture halls stadium seating, overall the campus was fantastic! Wish that there was more on the island than just a golf course, though. No restaurants, but there is a small cafe on campus. I was apprehensive going in, but coming out I have to say that I would seriously have to consider going to this school if accepted.
