Looked on studentdoctor.com, looked at the school's website, re-read my application.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities and the enthusiasm of the faculty.
What impressed you negatively?
First, the chair of the selection committee was not there. He usually concludes the day, and no one was there to conclude anything. So a group of us went to the admissions office to say bye, and they had already left at 5 pm! Also, the day was too long. Really. The food was just sandwiches. Moreover, my original interviewer had an emergency and the interviewer I got placed with knew nothing about my file and I had nothing in common with him. Oh, and I was lucky enough to be the only one to have back to back interviews, although they did apologize for that.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The other people in your interview group can be really competitive. I should have not gotten affected by them. Stay yourself.
