How did you prepare for the interview?

chatted with fellow interviewer and student hosts the night before

What impressed you positively?

the facilities were decent

What impressed you negatively?

1. Students seemed drone-like, as if they were just getting by. 2. school emphasized board scores so much as if they wanted to mold a group of average students into something to boast about. 3. Student housing is like a dorm suite...not my thing. I need my independence and more separation of medical school and personal time. 4. The middle of nowhere location, coupled with the fact that there is no undergraduate campus, nor is there other professional/grad schools around make for a very lonely and isolated experience.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This is definitely not the place for me, even though the interview itself went well.

What are your general comments?

I'm sure you'll get a fine education here. I just foresee myself being depressed/not wanting to get out of bed in the morning if I went here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
