How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, UCHSC site, read some current events

What impressed you positively?

new campus, Denver, current students were excited to be in med school

What impressed you negatively?

its been a bumpy road to building the new campus, overall not really worried about the politics of CO though, more interested in being at a good school with good people

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

''OOS'' tuition is not $72K for 4 years. It used to be $72K for first year, then in state for last 3 years. OOS is ~$47K for all 4 years now, and it should be reflected in next year's MSAR/USNews pubs. I'm probably going to go here for med school and I almost didn't apply because of that.

What are your general comments?

I meeting the students, loved CO, loved the school. Got an acceptance about a week after the interview--not the norm, though
