What impressed you positively?
State-of-the art facilities; Enthusiastic faculty/students
What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I must purchase a non-Mac laptop... =/
What are your general comments?
Overall, the interviews went pretty well. I was first interviewed by a doctor in Pathology. He and I had an interesting conversation about New Jersey, aircraft leasing, toll booths (linked w/ NJ), my law firm experiences, liver cancer, etc.
My second interview was w/ a 2nd year student. He was very friendly and helpful and gave me some additional insights on medical school. He iterated several points on my application and asked me to ''explain this'', etc.
