No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over AMCAS and secondary essays, visited Loyola website, read interview feedback on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of absolutely EVERYONE I met there. They foster a really supportive caring environment, and are really interested in who you are. Their facilities are awesome. I loved the layout and brightness of their med school building, and as a previous poster noted, you don't even have to put a coat on to go and work out at their beautiful fitness center since it is connected through an indoor corridor.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Loyola seems to provide exactly the kind of cooperative learning environment that I was searching for.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Interviewers were tremendously nice. They actually had read my essays completely, so there were no questions that just repeated what I had already written, like in some of my interviews at other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
