What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a little old.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew the specific times I would be interviewing.

What are your general comments?

The day started off with meeting the other interviewies, then a couple presentations, lunch with the 1st and 2nd year students, then my two back to back interviews. Unfortunately the bad weather impeded the tour, however we saw the gross anatomy lab. Overall everyone I met was really friendly, and the interviewers were not intimidating.
