What impressed you positively?

EVERYTHING!!! The student tour was great, they answered questions honestly, and weren't just trying to sell the school. It made a great impression. Two students mentioned that the interview was really laidback, and my first thought was "yeah right, they're just saying that because they got in" but it really was the most impressive interview I went on...we just talked for about 30 minutes, no rapid firing of questions.

What impressed you negatively?

Not really anything about the school itself, but I've been reading that West Virginia is going through hard financial times, so the budget for medical and dental schools is reduced. Not quite sure how large of an impact this will have.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How misinformed everyone is about West Virginia: the school is in a great location, everyone is supportive, understanding, and dental school students get as much respect as medical students!
