What impressed you positively?

The campus is very beautiful especially in the fall months when trees are changing colors. Also the openness of the deans on exactly how the admissions process worked at their school.

What impressed you negatively?

I passed several students outside of the lecture hall that didn't acknowledge me. Of course they don't have to, but at the other schools I've interviewed at the students at least smiled or wished good luck to us nervous guys in the black suits. Hospital seems really small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

12+ weeks of summer vacation after the first year

What are your general comments?

The interviews were really laid-back, and even though I had tough questions in each, it never really felt hard. Ultimately, its hard to stress when you know that they accept around half the students they interview.
