How did you prepare for the interview?

looked over SDN, talked with my parents, talked to my friend who is a current nurse in New Mexico

What impressed you positively?

They heavily recruited me during my interview, and discussed how the school caters to a lot of my interests. ALL new buildings (sub, anatomy lab, lecture hall) will be finished in the spring, just in time for next year!!!

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't really negatively impress me, but after being 15 minutes late, my student interviewer cancelled, and so I was interviwed by the associate dean instead (guess it worked in my favor...)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

oh my god!! dress shoes kill to walk around in, bring comfortable shoes to change into!

What are your general comments?

They seemed to know my application pretty well. They also acknowledged their weak points, and addressed them up front, which I thought was a good move. If you know what the medical school stands for, then you know to research New Mexico healthcare issues beforehand. I guarantee they will ask you about it.
