How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at web site, read information packet, talked with another interviewee

What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab is really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The students don't seem all-too-friendly. The "medical school" is really on one floor of one building. The entire college is really four buildings, plus a hospital with nothing within an hour (besides some kind of jail).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Valhalla is in the middle of nowhere, that you basically need a car. Though it's a "large" medical school, it doesn't feel like it because it's small, space-wise; but it does feel like it because there isn't a cohesive community in the students.

What are your general comments?

It was a stress-free interview, where he was eating lunch and waiting to attend a lecture. They leave tyou to do whatever in between your interview and lunch (which leaves about an hour or two of awkwardly sitting around).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
