What impressed you positively?

The weather The students-very casual, friendly, and laid-back for such and elite institution The students were happy and confident

What impressed you negatively?

Adm staff didn't really explain anything to us, just expected us to go with the flow. A lot of down time and interviewees weren't given a time range for when their day would end. I expected to be done by like 3, but my last interview started at 3:30p. Would have been nice to know this before scheduling my flight.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Pretty casual day. Since the admiss office didn't give us any guidelines on the day, the interviewees took upon ourselves to get to know each other and facilitate our own day. Great school. Has always been a dream of mine. Facilities aren't perfect, but hey, it's no new school. Although, they are in the process of completing the new hospital.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Can we get an overview of how the day will go prior to the interview day?
