What impressed you positively?
Great facilities, the sim center was awesome (it's an incredibly long day, but you won't regret going on the tour). Several students screamed "come to this school!" to our group during the school tour.
What impressed you negatively?
Students weren't taking the school, etc. as seriously as I expected. The morning presenters were a bit hostile whenever someone asked about the residency assignment system. Students with non-military background didn't seem to have a very good grasp of military terms, etc. at all.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How long the day was... lots of walking. Wear comfortable shoes.
What are your general comments?
Open file interviews- but they just have your AMCAS activities and all your PS's. One interviewer basically just read off my AMCAS activities one at a time and asked questions about each and then did something similar with my PS's.
