What are your general comments?
i definitely learned some interesting facts about the school and the program, interview was mostly based on a AMCAS file (the interviewer pondered it in detail right before my eyes-unfortunately this left little time for eye contact as he made notes on response as well-this was a bit distracting so I kept my response precise and to the point), and I really appreciated my interviewers thoroughness in learning about my application, though I was expecting a more free flowing conversational approach

spoke to past/current students, friends, and family
What impressed you positively?
program flexibility, understanding of faculty/administration towards students with families
What impressed you negatively?
no financial aid information given on interview day; interviews were briefed individually as they arrived which got starts to look inefficient if two or more students arrive and once and the other(s) have to wait for the assistant to ouline the ropes for the day
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
interviewees were given a beautiful green pen with interview package with WSUSOM engraved for making notes/doing form etc. (this may sound trivial but I had just paid $5 for a similar one at RiteAid!)
