What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight is a blast. He is very honest and I frankly learned a lot about the admissions process. All the other interviewees got along and talked the whole time.

What impressed you negatively?

No student ambassadors, no information packets, no curriculum overview. Maybe just a busy day?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You need a car to buy groceries.

What are your general comments?

Okay. I was a little surprized that the interviewers believed that HIV is no longer a problem in the US, but this is a common misconception. I liked this format better than one on one as I am more used to talking in groups.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
