How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my apps, read over SDN, checked out the school's website (which really doesn't tell you much about the curriculum, btw).

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice, and the anatomy lab has computer setups for each group where you can watch guided/instructional videos! Also, histology is all on computer.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, pretty well-prepared for all that RFUMS is.

What are your general comments?

Overall, very nice. The interviews were WAY low stress, and the interviewers did a good job of getting to know me as an applicant through conversation instead of interrogation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
