What are your general comments?
A very positive experience. As a result of this interview, UConn has jumped way up on my list! My interviewers were great, very conversational. We met with the Deans of Admission and Students at separate times, and they really made us feel comfortable. The school even lets you establish residency after your first year if you're out of state so you can pay the much lower in-state tuition.

What impressed you positively?
The atmosphere of the school is SO friendly, the gross labs are very well ventilated and you get to meet with two Deans while you're there! The school just really seems to be very concerned with what students think, even before you're a student!
What impressed you negatively?
The cafeteria kind of sucks and the tour guides told us the John Dempsey hospital only has 80 beds! Not sure if this is accurate though because it's not what the brochure we got says.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would have to think up an interesting story about myself that's not in my application on the spot for the 'orientation' at the beginning of the day!
