The warmth and positivity in the faculty and medical students, also certain aspects of the school I really like (mostly low tuition lmao).

The second interviewer I had was rapid firing questions at me and it was his first time interviewing. Just an uncomfortable experience. Also they only gave me a week notice for this interview and it was in August on a weekday.

The medical students there said all interviews will be chill and conversational. My first one was like that, my second one was entirely the opposite. Be prepared for anything.
