What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that just because they offer an interview does NOT mean they are really considering you (I received my notice of my interview before I sent in my secondary)

What are your general comments?

The facilities were very nice and the students I spoke with were welcoming as well.....However during the interview one of the interviewers seemed to be not listening to me and doodling on her paper. For those out of state applicants..word of advice, be careful about accepting an interview and wasting money on the trip. They basically told me I had no chance because of my mcat score was lower than they usually took....which is fine. However, they shouldn't have even wasted my time by having me fly all the way out there if they were just going to tell me that. I guess I was just another out of state minority applicant they can chalk up that they interviewed for the benefit of the institution. They preach about the nine competencies, one of them being Professionalism, maybe they need to think about what they are teaching, being that they are NOT very professional themselves.
