What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Quality Inn is an oxymoron. It's cheap and close, but its definatly lacking "quality".

What are your general comments?

Dr. Haight was funny and made the whole day very informal and welcoming. Interview was alittle stressful knowing that it was a panel asking questions not individually but to a group of your fellow peers. However, each question was personalized to your file and after it started, the stress lifted (wasn't as bad as I thought). The interview consisted of 1 PhD, 2 DO's, and a student. Questions were open-file so definatly know EVERYTHING in your file. But the questions weren't that bad, and you end up only answering about 4 questions throughout the hour because of the nature of the type of interview.
