What impressed you positively?

Dean Scott was sooo enthusiastic, he really had a lot to share and portrayed the school the way it actually is ("to not train you to be just an ordinary doctor, but someone who is going to be leading the healthcare decisions in our country"). The students during lunch were all really nice and liked it there a lot.

What impressed you negatively?

The library looked kind of dingy and old. The lockers in the hallways looked like a high school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Everyone on the group (approx 10) were all really nice and normal ppl! They hand you a folder at the beginning of the day with all of your info, including who you will be interviewing with and what time. Very comfortable the entire time, nothing to stress about at all. The student interviewer was a slightly less conversational than the faculty interviewer, but even then, very casual interview. Both started out with..."So tell me about yourself"
