How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, previous interviews

What impressed you positively?

very laid back

What impressed you negatively?

the tour guide was a little weird and I personally felt he was a bit disrespectful and desensitized to the cadaver he showed us; that the dean of admissions told me she never wanted to be a doctor in the first place, and she was the one I interviewed with. She was a great lady and I had a great interview, but the fact that she told me that...what does that say about who's running the school? Also, no presentation by Financial Aid
