What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How long i'd be waiting for the interview
What are your general comments?
Overall a good interview. The staff at the school is a strong point, from the assistant dean and financial aid lady to the doctors i met during the interview. The lunch is not great, and we spent a long time waiting in a small boardroom for our interviews to begin. It was fun getting to talk with the other applicants. Everyone was very friendly, so that helped the time go by.
