Read literature online, this forum, reviewed AMCAS.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed really happy, the faculty responsive and involved, and the students matched very well in understaffed specialties.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school could be seen as a detriment. Additionally, the tour guides led students into an anatomy lab, which could have been an unnecessary stress for some students on this particular day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

One interview was blind and one was open, meaning that it is important to have your "Tell me about yourself" down.
