What impressed you positively?
It was a NO stress interview. Completely relaxed faculty, they just wanted to get to know you. It was absolutely fabulous. The Ass. Dean came and talked with us for 45 minutes before the interviews began, and he was very welcoming, and told us we were all "very special" and that we should feel "good about ourselves". It was such a warm atmosphere. Even if I am not accepted, I will still think that HMS has wonderful faculty and I was honored just to be interviewed.
