How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AAMCAS, research about medical innovations

What impressed you positively?

Everybody's friendliness - from the admissions staff to the students to the interviewers. Also, the facilities were very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Not actually in Milwaukee... actually in a suburb about 7 miles away. This has positive and negative sides.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it's really really cold in Milwaukee. Although I already knew that - but all the buildings are connected so you don't really have to go outside!

What are your general comments?

It was very pleasant. I stayed with a host, which was great because it was free, and plus she was very nice. The interview day doesn't start until noon which was good because there were no nightmares of oversleeping. Everything was very well prepared and organized. I was surprised that the interview group was so large, however - 60 people!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Maybe a little more help finding the interview rooms, like a few people to guide applicants if they
