What impressed you positively?

Faculty, students were very friendly. The traditional program seems terrific. Location is great. Atmosphere is also great: non-competitive, students take care of each other.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of facilities; New building will be nice... once it's finished.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was very low-key/conversational. Do not be stressed about this one.

What are your general comments?

See last comment. Overall, it went really well. Just know how you plan to answer the ''typical'' questions: why medicine, why physician, why specialty, tell me about yourself. I didn't have any curve balls.
