What are your general comments?

Each of my interviews were 30 minutes. Waiting in the room to be interviewed is a little unnerving, especially when you realize which interviewer is the one that asks questions such as "what is blue?" My interviewers were very easy to talk to, genuine and I thought (hope) that they went well.

What impressed you positively?

The Dean of the school showing up and interviewing people...the friendliness of students and staff--the fact that students really felt that they were getting what they were paying for. The school is physically attached to NEMC--an amazing hospital... Not only that, but the affiliated hospitals are also impressive. The match list. Everything!!

What impressed you negatively?

I would say the cost, but I knew what I was getting into when I applied. It is expensive, but, I felt that they did a great job being honest. And, as I mentioned, the students really felt that they got what they were paying for.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.
