How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked the questions posted here online... about 75% of all of the questions I got asked had been recycled from here :) Talked to the student I stayed with the night before, went online to research some current health care issues.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so laid back and relaxed. The students seemed genuinely interested and excited to be telling you about the school. NW has a brand new curriculum with only 2 hours of class a day and all pass-fail courses for the first two years... basically everything was amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

The group interview is not focused on your academic acheivements at ALL. I thought I would get a chance to shine, but instead it was just a lot of ''what do you like to eat'' type questions. I assume they just want to see your personality, but you come out feeling like you didnt really get a chance to show off and explain why you should go to NW.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

IT RAINS IN CHICAGO A LOT. Bring an umbrella and covering for your luggage if youre going straight home from your interview.

What are your general comments?

It was really awesome. It quickly became my #1 school after the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
