What impressed you positively?

Everybody was nice and very helpful. Also, the lack of weekly quizes and a grading system, all of which lead to a less stressful and noncompetitive environment.

What impressed you negatively?

I just want to get accepted into med school!! In my situation, I don't have the luxury to be too picky.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stress-free the interview experience was. It would have saved me the annoying pre-interview anxiety.

What are your general comments?

One interviewer asked me questions about issues in which he was interested. So he didn't get to know much about me from the interview. Although, he did most of the talking, we discussed views we had in common. The second interveiwer psychoanalyzed me. He freaked me out at some point but he got to know me thoroughly...hek! I felt I got to know more about me by the end of the interview! The whole experience was very very weird but interesting.
