How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread AMCAS, looked over website

What impressed you positively?

The building is very nice and new, and the student body was mature and professional, but at the same time very friendly and eager to talk with interviewees. The interview day is nice because it doesn't start until noon, so there isn't that frantic rush in the morning. It is SO nice that they tell you within 10 days if you've been accepted, waitlisted, or rejected.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really. Honestly, they do a great job of keeping interviews short and stress-free.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I lived in the area briefly, so nothing really surprised me. I think people will be suprised by how much Milwaukee has to offer if they give it a chance.

What are your general comments?

Got there at noon, ate with some students, got the speach from the admissions director, interviewed right within a half-hour, toured, listened to the financial aid talk, said good-byes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
