How did you prepare for the interview?

went to previous interviews

What impressed you positively?

It was well organized and people were extremely friendly

What impressed you negatively?

The small anatomy lab. They don't have enough cadavers for all of the students, so there are 6 students per table. Due to the lack of space they only allow 4 students at a time at the table. So this means that instead of attending anatomy lecture mon/wed/fri, you would only go mon/wed. The people who went on friday are responsible for teaching you the material that you missed and then you are quized on it during the next class period. Your partners that taught you receive the grade you earn on the quiz. This is to ensure that your partners take the time to teach you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How long the day would be (it was exhausting)

Overall it was good. The learning lab was very impressive
