What impressed you positively?

Technology is amazing! Ranked high in rural health, and fairly high in primary care.

What impressed you negatively?

Location. It's in a tiny, tiny town...kind of a shock if you're from out of state.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They do not interview many out-of-state applicants. If you get an interview, you are in great shape! Accept approximately 2/3 of out-of-staters they interview! Must be true...I got in! :)

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview (beginning of September), so I didn't know what to expect. It was a great experience! My interviewers were really laid back. First one asked a lot of questions, but conversation was engaging and enjoyable, not an ambush. The second interviewer told me my personal statement was the best he'd read in a long time, and said he didn't need to kow any more and would recommend me for admission...that interview was maybe 10 minutes total if even that.
