What impressed you positively?

friendly atmosphere. They were really trying to give you as much info as possible about Southwestern and Dallas life.

nothing really...the tours were okay

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing. Everything was very straightforward and they did a great job of telling us in the beginning what all to expect for the rest of the day.

What are your general comments?

My interviewers were wonderful people and both we involved more heavily in the non-clinical aspects of medicine such as business and preventative care. The interviews were very laid back and conversational. It was obvious that they were trying to get a feel for who I am as a person rather than slam me with a bunch of typical questions. I spent a long time talking with one of my interviewers. We got a long really well, and I just remember us both laughing throughout the interview. Very nice experience.
