How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The new research center is gorgeous, the Children's hospital is nice too.

What impressed you negatively?

Many of the facilities are run-down and outdated. St. Louis is considered the most dangerous city in the U.S. Financial aid is minimal. Expect to pay mostly in loans.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school is so run-down.

What are your general comments?

Students and faculty were nice, but didn't share the same enthusiasm about their school that I've encountered elsewhere.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Scripted interviews are a bummer-why not just ask me to write answers to the questions and save a flight?
