How did you prepare for the interview?

read website, SDN feedback, looked over AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

The location is absolutely stunning, the students are really at an advantage due to the 1:1 faculty:student ratio, and they have more up-to-date technology that the majority of schools I have applied to.

What impressed you negatively?

The social scene may need a little work, but I'm pretty picky.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How wonderful this school is! The people are amazing and I know I will get an excellent medical education if I attend. Also, there are plenty of students to choose areas besides primary care.

What are your general comments?

This was such a great interview. I was very relaxed and both flowed like normal conversation. Actually, both of mine went over the hour time limit! Tennessee is my favorite place to be, so I am seriously considering attending. The personal attention given to students is second to none.
