How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, CCLCM website, my prior interviews

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing, both research and clinical. Everyone there seems to love it immeasurably and is very intelligent.

What impressed you negatively?

It is still a young school, and they're still working the kinks out. But the students say the administrators are very open to suggestions because of it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It's not just pass/fail, they do written evaluations instead of grades. They said I'd probably need a car.

What are your general comments?

The whole day was packed, with three tours (hospital, medical school, and research areas), financial aid info, curricular info, a lunch, and an internet session. The interviews themselves were comfortable, more like conversations than the others I've been to. I was tired by the end of the day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
