How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application a couple of times, read SDN, kinda wrote down basic traits I would like them to know about me, and kinda a list of my favorite books and movies. and rested

What impressed you positively?

I liked the location- small town near a big city by the beach (for me that's the best of all worlds), I liked the schedule and curriculum and the USMLE scores, the students seem laid back and happy

What impressed you negatively?

There is still some uncertainty about certain aspects of the future but mostly it seemed like most of that won't affect med students directly

It rained on our day and some people had to walk through the rain to get to their interview on time Oh and if you have to drive thru Houston... be prepared for some soul crushing traffic
