How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over AMCAS application, SDN feedback, Vandy website, research pubs, interviewer biography.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, and the way that Vandy seems to really take care of their students. The area surrounding the campus was very quaint and had a lot of southern charm. Downtown Nashville would be a fun place to spend 4 years.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Perhaps just the cost of the school and the fact that the students I met were somewhat repetitive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the curriculum is being changed, and that the Emphasis program seems to take up a lot of time during the school year.

What are your general comments?

It went well. The interviewer was very conversational and relaxed. She also made a great effort to answer all of the questions that I had for her about Nashville and the school itself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
