What impressed you positively?
Everyone is incredibly nice. There really is an environment of "Hey, we're all in this together, let's help each other." Once you're in, they really seem like they'd do anything to keep you.
What impressed you negatively?
The whole "nice" thing became a problem after the interview. It felt very open and relaxed, but I didn't really have a sense of how I did. I couldn't tell if they really liked me or if they were just being nice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had better questions for the interviewers.
What are your general comments?
Honestly, relax for this one. I heard this from everyone and did not believe a word of it. You will do much better and will be much more like yourself if you just breath and have a good time with it.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Discuss the costs (both hidden and obvious) that come along with med. school.
