How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed why I liked Vanderbilt, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Friendly students, admissions staff, and physicians. Many facilities are new, and the children's hospital is impressive. The students seemed happy to be at Vanderbilt. The brand new (opening next week) ICU.

What impressed you negatively?

A few students I encountered did not seem very professional. I realize that they were trying to make the day as relaxed as possible, but a few times I had to wonder how they made it into medical school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Sweet tea isn't all its cracked up to be. :)

What are your general comments?

Great academics, beautiful campus, and friendly people.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the good work! This was the most organized of all my interview days.
