What impressed you positively?

How enthusiastic the interviewers were and how much they wanted me to attend their school.... They tried to convince me the entire time that their school would be the best place to go.

What impressed you negatively?

The day wasn't planned out at all... No breakfast even though the email said that there would be one. Nothing to do while waiting except talk to a current student... Wished there was more of a 'campus' feel to it...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The building is the red brick one on your left... There's one sign for it, and yes that is it...Don't think that there is more of the building after the sign... Just turn in... It saves you time from looking for the building... =)

What are your general comments?

good... not stressful... The interviewers said that I had a good application... I thought it was ok... 3.8 gpa and 24mcat... They said that I probably will get into the school during the interview and 2 weeks later, there was a letter.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
