What impressed you positively?

Dr. Haight is a valuable resource...not intimidating and really wants to be a source of information for you, not a critic or judge.

What impressed you negatively?

It's in the middle of nowhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I thought they had a hospital affiliation, but you're only on campus for 2 years, with rotations in affiliated hospitals all over the country.

What are your general comments?

Good. It was my first interview, so there are always cobwebs when going through the motions for the first time, but I didn't find the interview stressful. However, I feel comfortable in groups. For others who aren't extroverted, I can see how the setup would be intimidating. Their response time is fast and much appreciated. I was notified about their decision within 14 days.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
