How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reading up on the school, and i also tried reading up on current issues in medicine, but I really don't feel that did me any good!

What impressed you positively?

The students! They were all so happy, and it was almost like a family unit. Everybody knew everybody regardless of what class they were in.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The lunch they serve sucks (sandwiches and cookies). I was pretty hungry by the end of the day.

What are your general comments?

I had a very positive experience. One of my interviewers was excellent (Dr. Gold). He made me feel completely comfortable, and explained everything I needed to know about the school. Everybody was very nice. The students all wanted to answer all of your questions. Oh, I said above that it was open file, but it is really half open/half closed. They have access to your personal statement and all that, but are not supposed to look at your numbers. They look at that afterwards
