What impressed you positively?

The early clinical experience is key for me. I was truly impressed by how much background knowledge my interviewer had about me. This was the first interview I'd been to where my interviewer had such indepth knowledge about both my AMCAS and secondary applications and had meaningful questions to ask about my experiences. I was also impressed by the student center and the library. The guides were excited and had lots of positive things to say.

What are your general comments?

Overall a very positive interview experience. The interview was very laid back and my interviewer was well versed in my application before I arrived. Nothing out of the norm, I liked the information packet they hand out, there was some good information available to students. I was a little intimidated by the area, it will take some getting used to.
