What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very polite/pleasant as were the first year med students. The city was beautiful, very quiet and low-key, VERY different from toronto where I'm from. Really loved the bus tour...i recommend it.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...I however didn't see myself fitting into the kingston atmosphere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interview was less stressful than i expected it to be (my first one was mac and this was a pleasant surprise). Try not to be nervous, relax, and just say what comes to mind (ie. not so much about the beauty of your answers as how you present yourself).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
