How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't really, listened to some pep talks from business partners, and listened to my favorite songs right before I walked in.

What impressed you positively?

facilities are nicer than I thought, physician was very open and established a rapport with me, student interviewer and physician seemed very professional.

What impressed you negatively?

the other students interviewing-- they looked like they were going clubbing. Come on people, its called a full suit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have brought some tylenol- I had a wicked headache

What are your general comments?

Very comfortable environment. THe physician met me and took me to a room with a large conference table, we talked for an hour and 15 minutes (really, a 20 minute interview is a BAD thing when you are suppose to have an hour people). Then we finished and I met my student interviewer, and went to the same room. We talked for about an hour. Very relaxed, but challenging ethical questions. It ended with a tour of the fantastic facilities.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
