What impressed you positively?

The hospital was nice

What impressed you negatively?

Students we passed during the interview were not so friendly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviewer would be condescending and that the interview was actually an hour session through which I am supposed to get to know him better, since he did all the talking.

What are your general comments?

So realize that interviews run until 4:30pm, which is later than other places I have been. The interviewer had a very awkward style in asking questions and instigating conversation (if any), I didn't like it but perhaps other interviewees did. It seemed as though a decision on me had been made before I even stepped in.. but I guess we will see. Also, I emailed one of the students on the admissions committee for information on something, and found the student to not be that helpful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
