What impressed you positively?
Administration was very down to earth, and students seemed very collegial.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities are not the greatest-the campus did not have much character.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would have a student interviewer for one interview.
What are your general comments?
This was my first med school interview, so I didn't know what to expect. From the beginning of the day, the administration stressed being laid-back-that they didn't want to make us nervous. I had one faculty and one student interviewer. The faculty interviewer followed up on things I mentioned during the interview (it was more conversational). The student interviewer was extremely inexperienced, and just went down a list of questions she had prepared.
