The interviewers were very nice, admissions office was very friendly, the academic buildings are pretty and newish!!!

What impressed you negatively?

I really really really wish I could have gotten a tour of campus/hospital or met with students or professors or SOMETHING other than my 25 minute interview. My student host buddy thing had class all day, as expected, so I couldn't meet up with her at all.

That they would ask me questions about things I had done two years ago.
