What impressed you positively?

The place was awesome. The students really seemed to like the school, and they had time to do things outside of school. They'd answer pretty much any question you'd ask.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My interview didn't seem to be going real well, he just wanted to tell me about Vanderbilt, and didn't seem as concerned with my application.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the parking garage they want you to park in is pretty far away.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

After reading over two other feedbacks, I'm guessing three of us had the same interviewer. It was intimidating at first because he wouldn't ask any questions. Then, he asked about my MCAT, and said the same thing: I had a stong app, he'd put in a good word, and he'd figure I'd be an accept or on the wait list. Because Vandy is trying to get ranked higher, they pretty much won't accept anyone with an MCAT below their average.
