Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The interview is organized so well. The intenerary (sp?) they email is followed much more precisely than at most other schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

I go to UK for undergrad so nothing really suprised me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview was great and well-organized. We watched a short video, and then all of the interviewers were brought into the room and introduced to us. This was much more impressive than what I've seen at other schools, where interviewees are told to wait somewhere while interviewers may or may not show up several minutes late. The students seemed very close and enthusiastic and I love that the school is literally within the hospital. The best part was finding out I was accepted less than a week following my interview.
