How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, random websites for interviewing, my application

What impressed you positively?

going to the anatomy lab, where the tour guide opened up a cadaver, as well as the second interviewer who was really nice and conversational

What impressed you negatively?

maybe too much free time during the day, yet the tour was cut short

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really, maybe that I wouldn't have a student interviewer

What are your general comments?

The day was pretty well organized, and the admissions staff was really nice and helpful. I liked the tour and all the information provided. I liked that we got to sit in on a lot of classes too (two MS1 classes and an MS2 class). All in all, I was really impressed with the school, but I felt that I was still pretty nervous which may have negatively affected my interviews.
