MSAR, SDN feedback, asked other students their experience, pre-application visit to the school, reviewed apps, read current topics in medical journals (yes, this is my first choice school - I'm not really a gunner)

What impressed you positively?

Student enthusiam, two MS1s with similar backgrounds sought me out before the interview (I didn't know them before), great facilities, great instructors, the list goes on and on

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing new - and for the military people interviewing, you really can leave your cover in the car (no hat no salute area throughout the school and you don't leave the school for the tours).

Great overall experience - solidified my choice with this school as top pick.
