What impressed you positively?

The facilities, the students, and most of all, the faculty. The area was beautiful, and I could honestly see myself attending school there. My interviewers were awesome!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really. My only complaint was that every sandwich served at lunch was soaked in mayo, which I can't stand...see how hard I'm having to dig to criticize the school?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't realize that 23 other students would be there, too.

What are your general comments?

UAB doesn't believe in "stress interviews," so I basically had three conversations. I couldn't believe how nice everyone was about my record. I knew that each of my interviewers really wanted to represent me well by the efforts they made to really get to know me. In fact, most of the time was spent trying to recruit me. One interviewer even gave me tips for the next one! I left feeling fantastic.
