How did you prepare for the interview?

Ate Arby's with my sister in Dayton. Listened to OAR during the drive over next morning. Rock on OAR.

What impressed you positively?

Tons of hospitals in the area, Cincy is a cool town, lots of character, and the area around the hospital really isn't as ghetto as people say. Acceptable facilities, the faculty I met were friendly and laid-back. Financial presentation was short and sweet, just like it should be.

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't get to meet many students, which would have been nice. Our tour guide was nice, but definitely high-strung. I don't have a good sense of what the students there are like.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Seriously people, go eat a 3-way at Skyline while you are here. I was skeptical about the whole chili on top of spaghetti thing, but trust me, it's so money.

What are your general comments?

I had read this site before and saw the comment about "Roger Smith is a jerk". I got my interview schedule when I arrived and saw that he was my interviewer. I was worried. For no reason. By no means is the guy a pushover, but do you really want that? He was a friendly guy who asked pertinent questions and was honest about my chances at acceptance; I don't know what problem the other person had.
