What impressed you positively?

The level of attention given to us interviewees. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That most of the streets in downtown Madison are one-way and I got lost using directions from mapquest. A printable map to the Friedrick center would have helped.

What are your general comments?

Very positive. All the interviewees got along well. The medical students treated us like we were part of the school. My interviewer barely asked any questions. We just talked about my personal/childhood life, what I did in college, and my current job. It was basically a conversation, and didn't feel like an interview. The facilities were awesome, especially the children's hospital. It was honestly the best interview experience I've ever had. Everyone at the school really wanted us to feel comfortable. The food was also great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None.
