How did you prepare for the interview?

Had one interview prior to this, I skimmed my secondary and AMCAS, I grilled as many Loyola people as I could (M1, M2, residents, alums), scoured their website, read alumni bulletins, looked over some medical ethics stuff (although I was the one who brought this stuff up, not the interviewers).

What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING! The school is great, the faculty is great, and the people are great! ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!!!!!

What impressed you negatively?

The parking! My only complaint is that is was hard to find the entrance to the parking garage.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be walking outside from building to building - I would have brought my umbrella in my purse instead of leaving it in the admissions office!

What are your general comments?

POSITIVE! I love this school and really hope they love me too! I would choose Loyola over any other school out there!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
