10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Mock Interviews, read over primary and secondary, talk to students at the school

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere on campus. It felt more like a school than other schools I've interviewed at (mainly Touro CA and Touro NV) and the surrounding area isn't that bad (side note: I grew up in the area so I knew what to expect)

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't seem like the interviewers read my application at all. They asked me questions like if I have volunteered or if I have shadowed that are in my application.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There would be such a gap between lunch and the actual interview. Some people had to just wait around for 2 hours.

What are your general comments?

The interview was the least conversational of all my interviews which got me nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The break between lunch and the actual interview is long and seems rather unnecesarry.
