How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading these.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were unexpectedly nice. First interviewer was great. The dean is hilarious. Interviewing class is large -- there are a lot of you -- and they'll still know who you are. Bethesda is way cooler than expected, reminded me a lot of living in a smaller SF.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really. Bethesda is expensive. The school itself is nestled away behind the hospital. Be aware of the years of service required.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Better directions about getting to the school itself. When you get to gate security there's a 50/50 chance they won't know why you're there. The school is a small part of the base.

What are your general comments?

Loved the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
