secondaries, sd, Uconn webpage..

What impressed you positively?

interviewers were very friendly.. could talk about sport, quilting, or dreams for 25 minutes. Seemed to evaluate mostly your conversation skills. Very nice and new facilities...

What impressed you negatively?

Because of the holidays, it may take up to 6 weeks before having an answer. Also, they will only start the waiting list in March.. a lot of waiting..

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Have to make a presentation of yourself in front of the other candidate.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was really nice. The school offers a lot of other opportunities if you get into their program, such as research fellowship during the summer, abroad clinicals, MBA's, and 5th year enrichment program...
