How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my AMCAS application and personal statement as well as reviewing feedback on SDN.

I was impressed students typically score above the national average on boards, the anatomy lab was very well lit with natural light and well ventilated, and the students were very friendly and open.

What impressed you negatively?

The average debt is also above the national average. Also, the gym is very small and there is only one small cafeteria and you have to use cash.
