How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview with pre-professional adviser and family, read up on current issues,tried to relax, didn't work. I think my nerves showed through and i didn't do as well as i would have liked

What impressed you positively?

facilities seemed nice, they are in the process of adding a new building which looks like it is going to be impressive, everyone was kind and encouraging

What impressed you negatively?

no tour was given as a part of the interview day, however, the school does seem to be a little more spread out than some which would probably make it difficult to have a fairly informative tour. also, even though i got a 24 on the MCAT, i could tell one interviewer thought that it would be a problem when she presented to the admissions committee. I'm sorry, if someone as a 3.94 overall gpa and a 3.89 science gpa,can the MCAT maybe not be taken as seriously, should i really have been wait listed

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the school was increasing their enrollment by about 6% and were going to have a minimum of 20 out-of-state students

What are your general comments?

the day was fairly standard, no tour, however, Cyndi Warren was very nice and encouraged students to not be so nervous. you come in and talk with Ms. Warren, have your two interviews, and then they show you the door. the day could have been a little better, a little more informative

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
