How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview feedback, read AMCAS/secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

Nice city, campus. Brand new pediatrics building. Changes in curriculum. The student hosts/tour givers are really nice. I was told by the students (both male and female) that the student body is very attractive (no pun intended).

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was during a major part of the tour and during the student QA period, so I missed all that stuff.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Take a look at the main campus beforehand/afterwards, its really neat. The admissions office will get a shuttle for you to the airport and it costs $11.

What are your general comments?

My interview was really relaxed and refreshing. Very conversational. I got lucky in terms of having a chill interviewer, though I think others who are not so lucky will curse the one and only interview Vandy provides. The campus is incredible, the resources are great, the students are cool, the faculty seems accessible. Very nice school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
