What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, its a great school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you have your faculty interview at the off-site hospital, leave 1 hr before, as opposed to the 30 minutes that the admissions director suggests. The bus takes at least 30 minutes, can leave late, and it may take a while to navigate once you get to the other location.
