What impressed you negatively?
There was no school representatives present at the orientation except Dr. Haight. It was unclear where students have their rotations on the 3rd and 4th year.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Since I was driving, the directions were unclear. I got lost. Luckly, I had plenty of time to find the way to school.
What are your general comments?
In general, the interview was easy. People who were interviewed with me got more difficult questions than I did. You should really know what you wrote in your both applications. It is important to support other students who are interviewed. It creates better impression about you as a person. I wish more useful information was given during the orientation. We even did not have a presentation by a Financial Aid representative.
