What impressed you positively?

The students who give the tour on Thursdays were excellent. Very enthusiastic and very honest. I liked them and promised I would write a good review of their tour.

What impressed you negatively?

Safety seems to be a big issue here.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to be a closed file interview.

What are your general comments?

There was a mix-up with my interview scheduling. I was supposed to meet with one doctor, but she was myseteriously out of town, so I ended up meeting with a professor who didn't know he was going to be interviewing me, had never seen my file, and didn't know anything about me. I was really thrown by this last minute change and I think it negatively impacted how I did on my interview.
