How did you prepare for the interview?
read over my interviewer's page on the Vandy website, read over my app but i didn't need to b/c your interviewer does not see your Secondary, only your AMCAS..
What impressed you positively?
OMG...you have not seen a Children's Hospital 'til you see the one at Vandy... wow. also..students were happy. and vanderbilt has so much $$$.. tons of scholarship
What impressed you negatively?
the one thing students said they'd change about the school is the fact that they're in lecture all the time.. this is straight traditional style..no PBL whatsoever...don't know if that's a negative though?/?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
i was doing too much in my heels!! also, lots of downtime,.so explore!!!
What are your general comments?
this was a wonderful place. i was inspired to forego my interest in PBL in favor of attending this austere place. however, as a URM, diversity is rather important to me. last yr, only 4 URM in the whole class and this past yr, there were 15 total.. compared to some other schools, the #s don't look so good...but it was definitely a great day!!!
