How did you prepare for the interview?

Checked out the school's website, this site, and read over my personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The FACILITIES were great; the two hospitals affiliated with the school; the carrels; friendliness of students; the new rec center

What impressed you negatively?

Since the interview was on a Saturday, the school was kind of deserted. The interviews were a little short and felt kind of rushed. I was also disappointed in the lack of clinical experience for the first 2 years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stress-free the day was going to be

What are your general comments?

I had a wonderful day at Southwestern. The welcome and financial aid/student life presentations answered almost all of my questions, and the interviews were very comfortable and laid-back. They were both more like conversations rather than question-and-answer sessions.
