What impressed you positively?

I was really impressed by the close knit community. Everyone seemed genuinely nice and willing to help each other. What most impressed me though was the VIC program.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That lunch was a private engagement with students and the dean rather than a haphazard arrangement in the cafeteria as I had usually encountered at other schools. So rather than find the group, I took my own little tour of the facilities and headed back to the admissions office for the formal tour.

What are your general comments?

The interview really felt like a conversation and not an interrogation. We shared a mutual interest in trauma care and talked at great length on the subject.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
