What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were so laid back. The assistant dean of admissions was VERY nice and friendly. The interviewers hadn't looked at anything besides my personal statement, so it was a very open and relaxed interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Because of its location, it doesn't get as interesting cases as a big city would offer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If I knew how relaxed an environment it was, I would not have stressed as much.

What are your general comments?

Great school, so friendly, every student was eager to meet us and promote the school. Seemed like a personable and even fun atmosphere.
