What impressed you positively?
The overwhelming love of the school from everyone there...students, admissions staff, faculty...everyone I met loves the school and everyone is amazingly supportive and friendly. A fourth floor anatomy lab with windows is a nice bonus too!
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really. This was definitely one of the most enjoyable interview experiences I could have had.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That no one was going to drill me with hard questions about current events and that everyone at this school truly wants you to succeed and just wants to learn about who you are.
What are your general comments?
The day started out with a presentation by the admissions staff...short, entertaining and very informative. There were three interviews...one short one (about 20-25 minutes) with a member of the admissions staff and two longer ones (about 60 minutes), one with a faculty member and one with a student. Lunch was very good, and included a student qustion and answer period. This was followed by the tour, which was also very informative. Overall, the day was very smooth, and downtime was easily filled by talking to the admissions staff or friendly students passing through the office.
