What impressed you positively?

I thought the town was quaint. I thought the faculty was amazing. They made me feel so at home. I felt that they really wanted me to be interviewing them as much as they were interviewing me. It felt like a very supportive environment.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt no connection with any of the students giving the tour. There were three of them, all were married. They could only answer questions about couple's lives in Pikeville and weren't really certain that there were many younger people coming straight from undergrad, as I'm doing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If i had called the school I think they would have sent a shuttle from the school to get me at the hotel.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience canceled out any negatives. The interviewers were attentive and communicative. They wanted to know all about my file but asked nothing about grades or MCATS. They wanted to sell themselves as much as I wanted to sell myself as an applicant.
