How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the UVM website, read the MSAR, read these interview feedback profiles, searched SDN forums, ran through answers in my head

Everything. Very positive atmospher, very laid back, family-friendly, early clinical exposure, nice location, new facilities

What impressed you negatively?

The cold. It was 0 degrees!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You don't have to walk outside for the tour so don't stress if you're wearing pantyhose and it's cold.

What are your general comments?

I applied to UVM back in July and was invted to interview in February, a pleasant surprise. It was a low-stress day and totally positive. I'm a poor interviewer so I doubt I did well, but I'm glad I got the chance. They seem to put a lot of thought into which interviewer you get. My interviewer did a good job, really knew my file.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
