How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over application, went to the night before dinner/meeting at the school, read about the school, talked to doctors.

What impressed you positively?

Some of the campus was pretty. They only go to class from 8-12pm to give the students more time to study out of class.

What impressed you negatively?

Students seemed extremely apathetic, falculty was not well informed about the process (my interviewer didn't know what was entailed on the MCAT), Galveston (when I got back into my car, there was a film of sticky mess on my windshield from the extreme humidity, pollution, and sea salt I assume), the facilities were aweful, the school right next to the worst area of town, there is a fraternity (drinking, parties, etc... that most of the students are involved in), the statement from one of the students " most of us try to just coast here, they can't fail us all".
