How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over the school's web page.

What impressed you positively?

Because the dean of admissions had prior committments, the dean of medical education spoke to us, and he was very interesting. Also, the housing is pretty nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was a bit abbreviated because it was the one day of the week when the guides have class in the afternoon. The lecture halls are pretty dark and dreary.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much they might be expecting my parents' financial contribution to be!

What are your general comments?

There was some confusion with the interviews, because one interviewer cancelled at the last minute so schedules were switched around. Both the interviewers and the students were very laid-back and friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
