How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, went over my application material

What impressed you positively?

I like the campus setting, it reminds me of my undergraduate institution. The clinical rotations are also amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of tuition and cost of living are EXPENSIVE.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How short the day is. You interview in the morning, and you're basically free to go after lunch.

What are your general comments?

Based on my prior interviews, I was expecting this to be really relaxed and conversational. While my interviewers were by no means rude, they were very question-and-answer, a little bit dispassionate and uninterested. Of course, it all depends on who your interviewers are. I did find it a bit strange that two of my interviewers, an MD and a 4th year, didn't show up. It seemed like everybody in my group got an ethical question. They don't have patient sims and their technology isn't that impressive. They also have quizzes and tests pretty much every week, which depending on who you talk to, is a positive or a negative. Also, if you're driving, bring lots of quarters for the tollways.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
