What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm from the area, so I knew most of what was said ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

This was my first med school interview experience, and it was a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. The staff/students were all very friendly and emphasized the cooperative nature of MUSC. You basically start with an info session in the morning, and then you break off for your interviews. After regrouping, you go on a tour with a student (M2) and then have lunch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
