How did you prepare for the interview?

Read some articles on medicine, got some sleep.

What impressed you positively?

On the tour, we visited the cadaver lab where all the first years were studying for an upcoming anatomy test. Despite being stressed, they were all so happy and having fun at what they were doing. Everyone loved their school, and they were all dying for us to ask questions. Also, the campus is gorgeous. And if you like the outdoors, this is definitely the school to be at. If you visit, you'll probably want to go here.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital was strange. Some areas were really nice, some were not so nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The folks at ETSU are great. Everyone seems to want you to be at home on their campus. The fourth year med student who took us around the hospital had some incredible things to say about the art of medicine, and if that is the typical physician produced by Quillen, the school is doing a great job at instilling confidence and a gracious attitude in its students.
