What are your general comments?
The interviewer didn’t let me talk a lot. He seemed to talk for the entire time. But we hit it off. He liked my background, and we shared surprisingly similar interest (especially when it came to the topic about global AIDS epidemic). He even referred me a book, which I bought and currently am reading. Very very interesting indeed. At the end of the interview, he told me straight up ''I would love to see you here, you are UVM material''. Was surprised I got waitlisted, but, I think he convinced them to accept me...I was accepted 2 weeks after I was initially waitlisted. Woohoo!

What impressed you positively?
The facilities, everything is brand NEW! The curriculum, you have class in the morning and patients in the afternoon/night. Awesome! Plus, how close Montreal is!
What impressed you negatively?
How small burlington is. I have lived in a big city all my life. Will take time adjusting...but I love outdoors.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That going to vermont via plane from Canada (Toronto) is tough. If you miss the late flight, you are screwed. I had to drive all the way from Montreal...really really late at night.
