The campus was beautiful and the opportunities for research were impressive. Their "holistic"approach to the interview process- they look at much more than just GPA, MCAT, and volunteering, specifically personality.

What impressed you negatively?

The heat and humidity, the fact that the interview went 2 hours over the time specified in the email.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They give you a few questionnaires and some small essay questions the day of the interview too further evaluate your personality. The essay questions were about leadership, adversity, community service, discrimination, and creativity. You spend some time outside walking between buildings and they drove us to an offsite clinic.
