How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Vanderbilt website, talked to a friend who went there

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students are VERY happy. The associate dean is a psychiatry major and is very focused on student health. His office is directly across from the first year lecture hall, he made a point to talk to all of us. The secretary and the deans know all of the students personally. The professors I listened to had a great sense of humor. They are getting a lot of new facilities in the next month including a state of the art anatomy lab.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather was both rainy and muggy. The tour guide seemed out of it, but that was probably because he had to give the tour alone and impromptu because someone cancelled.

Sweet tea is amazing, even at McDonald's.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was very friendly and conversational. He did a lot of talking, which is a bad thing in retrospect. The questions seemed to come up in conversation rather than out of the blue. It was a pleasant experience, but I wish it gave me more of a chance to sell myself to him.
