What impressed you positively?

The environment of the school was very relaxed and supportive. The students all seemed very happy, which I can't say for the other schools I've interviewed at. There's a Level 1 trauma center and St. Jude's affiliate children's hospital right on campus. One of my interviewers (a neurosurgeon) said that the students are vital to the operation of the whole medical center and aren't just flies on the wall. The standardized patients and systems-based curriculum are great things as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Honestly, nothing. I wish there was on campus housing, but I walked away from this interview so much more impressed by Shreveport than I thought I would be. I will strongly consider going there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How friendly my interviewers, particularly the dean, are. No need to stress at all! Also, I wish I had come prepared with more questions about the school...the interviewers and students were all very open and honest.

What are your general comments?

Stay at Sleep Inn--right around the corner from the school and nice rooms.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
