looked over feedback on SDN, read UVM's website, talked with student hosts

What impressed you positively?

the location, the students I stayed with, COMET--the pathology images were great! and VIC, the students I met (both current and fellow interviewees)

What impressed you negatively?

wish that it wasn't quite so pricey!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

would have been nice to have had a biography blurb for my interviewer to look at in advance of our interview.

What are your general comments?

It was a great day and I enjoyed imagining myself as a medical student there next year (crossing fingers!) Appreciated the friendliness of everyone I met and the vegetarian food available. The interview building can be a little hard to find, so leave yourself plenty of time and don't be afraid to ask those around you for directions!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

more extensive tour of hospital facilities
