What impressed you positively?
The Med students made an effort to talk to you and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. They genuinely seemed to be happy with the school and were great at selling the UofA as the best school in Canada.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing much really. Didn't like the room where all the interviewees sit just prior to the interview but that has more to do with nerves.

That I wouldn't have a med student on my panel (I had two docs and a proff).

Pretty good (for a first time interviewee)
