What impressed you positively?

Clinical experience that the school offers. And their mission to care for all. They seemed genuine in that regard. No one is turned away.

Cost, and the fact that the school is losing money and wrapped up in a lawsuit with the state over reimbursement.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer would be SO down to earth. Awesome guy.

What are your general comments?

Take a deep breath and relax. The interviewer was very disarming. Smile. Have confidence in you app. because it's solid, and you worked your ass off. They know that, but you have to show them how everything you've done has convinced you to be a doc.
