How did you prepare for the interview?

reading applications over, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly interview, that medical students still work (the clerk at the hotel was a second year); yummy lunch

What impressed you negatively?

not so friendly admissions staff, we spent most of the day just waiting in rooms without any structured activities. Our tour guides were friendly and great for questions, but we didn't see much of the facilities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not to stress out about getting there on time, as no one from the school came to see us until an hour after our reporting time; to bring water; that we would have to rank our choices of the campuses for our third year during one of the waiting times

What are your general comments?

Kind of left the interview experience thinking "that was it? that was worth all this driving and stress?" I left without much more of an idea about the school or the area

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Coffee and water during the waiting periods would be very nice! Also, having the schedule available
