What impressed you positively?

Everything about this school is NEW, and I was very impressed by the facilities. The first year medical students that came by to visit also seemed really happy and enthusiastic about being there, not only to answer our questions, but also in being at the school in general.

What impressed you negatively?

There were some scheduling delays for my interview, but this was due to a lost ID, nothing the school could have controlled.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview is so casual that your interviewers don't dress up formally! My student interviewer wore jeans, and my doctor interviewer came straight from work.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were very casual, and the interviewers did their very best to make it a stress-free experience. Actually, I had to watch my casual tone once or twice because of being drawn into this comfortable atmosphere. Conversation flowed well, and in my case, questions seemed to connect to what I, myself, had brought up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
