What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was nice and attentive even after being on call all night!

What impressed you negatively?

I hate to criticize, but after a number of other interviews, this one was very unimpressive. Some applicants got lost finding their room, there was a lot of wasted time (downtime), the sheer volume of other applicants made you feel like student number xyz, when asked what they liked most about the school, 3 med students gave very generic answers and I had to push them to get something specific. Not exactly the heartfelt passion I was hoping for. No tour?? Seriously?? A couple of us ended up taking our own tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall I enjoyed the people I met (interviewers, faculty, med students, etc..) but they didn't have enthusiasm. "We're huge and good" without much vigor or many specific details.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The supplemental materials seem like a pointless addition to an applicant's file.
