How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over school's website, had dinner with a student, read some books on healthcare.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous. The old southern architecture of some of the buildings is amazing. Also, the fact that you can take summer gross anatomy before you start medical school is incredible. The campus will be completely wireless (90% now) by the time the 2006 class starts. The funding of research that the school has gotten in the past few years is very impressive. All in all, I was very impressed!

What impressed you negatively?

Parking was a bit expensive, but they even gave us a voucher for that.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Summer gross anatomy is offered--great for someone like me who has been out of college for a few years.
