What impressed you positively?

The children's hospital, that is about a block away, was just built and a very nice facility. Also, the student common area seems like a good place to hang out. I also thought it was pretty cool they are known for not overwhelming their freshmen...first year is pretty laidback.

Gross lab, lecture halls....

What are your general comments?

I don't know whether to call this a "stress" interview or not. Basically in 15 minutes I was asked about a million questions...not being able to finish an answer before getting cut off by another question. It was really funny because right before the interview the director said that this was strictly NOT a stress interview and there would be no "where do you see medicine in the next 10 years?" kind of questions (one of the first questions I was asked) but strictly conversational talking about yourself. The interviewer just didn't really seem to care about my answers just my ability to answer them fast to get onto the next question. I can't say the guy was absolutely horrible, I was just very suprised at the slew of questions continuously asked. He basically said that the admissions committee meets on friday's and give applicants either a thumb's up or down...he told me i was very competitive but somehow after the interview I didn't even know how to take that:) I don't mean to scare anyone about the interview...it could've been worse...it just was a shocker to me since i was told it would be different.
