How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website.

What impressed you positively?

Great clinical program. Lots of exposure for students. Nice building. Transportation is great. If you are flying to BWI, I suggest taking Light Rail to get from the airport to UMB ($1.6 for about 20 min)

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the faculty are hard to deal with (from a student there).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I could stay calm to make a better impression.

What are your general comments?

I was too nervous in my first interview. Personally it is not because of the faculty members but my own lack of experience. There are a few things that I should've said, but I didnt. Just to be calm and work through it. I guess their "friendly" style isnt that friendly afterall. Do expect anything.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
