What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the option for the PIL learning pathway the interviewer was very kind and calm.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing major, just the long waiting time in the conference room, no food or drinks were provided before the student lunch interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The amount of time we would be sitting and staring in the conference room.

What are your general comments?

I really liked this school because they are one of the few MD schools that give an alternative learning pathway, I like the sense of an innovative curriculum.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Maybe have a student give the tour so interviewees have a better feel for what the students think. Also maybe have refreshments while interviewees wait in the room for long periods of time, I was starving while waiting for the student interview.
