What impressed you positively?

the friendliness of the interviewer and the students overall! the tour guides took us to the anatomy lab and I even got to handle a cadaver's lung! =) totally cool!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the whole neighborhood, the small campus, and the facilities were not too great. and the interviewer was trying too hard to sell the school to me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

handling cadaver is not that bad! and even the smell is not that bad. well, I was only in there for 10 minutes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I really had a great time. It was my first interview and a bit nervous. The interviewer was great. She made me feel very comfortable, and literally we just had a conversation. But she tried too hard to sell the school to me. But that was a good sign since that must mean she wants me to come! The tour was great! (see above about handling a cadaver!) the guides were extremely friendly and cool. Overall, a very stress-free, low-key day and a great experience!
