What impressed you positively?

Everyone I met was genuinely happy to be there, the match lists they handed out were really impressive, Dean Kelley knew EVERYONE that had ever gone there, and the location was gorgeous.

What impressed you negatively?

The students named their cadavers (I have a really hard time with that - they had names when they were alive, you don't need to give them a new one) and one of the student guides kept insisting the cadavers were stored in formaldehyde...pretty sure that's not true. At least I hope it's not. But I'm being picky, I was really impressed overall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The day is VERY laid back. If you're not interviewing first, make the students take you on your tour right away. It was nice talking to the current students, but I felt like a lot of my time was wasted sitting around waiting to go on the tour.
