How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my AMCAS application, read through SDN, talked to some applicants who interviewed before, read over my secondary.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The Dean of Admissions is such a nice lady. The people who work in her office are equally as nice. The students who gave us a tour really seemed to genuninely love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really except for Richmond. I'm from a big city and Richmond is defintetly not big city. The conservative nature of the city also

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really

What are your general comments?

I had a good experience. I got there kind of early so I had to wait a bit to be seen. Once I was told where I would have to meet with my interviewer around 930AM and I would be directed to where I would go. As the time came around, I realized that I had not been told where to go yet. I let the administrative person know and she rushed me to my interviewer's office in the hospital. My interviewer was really nice about the whole thing. We talked for a lot longer than we were supposed too because I was late to the Dean's meeting. It was a bit stressful but the Dean was really nice about me walking in late and told me not to worry about it. Overall, it was a really good experience.
