How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read through my application, read about vanderbilt

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and staff are so warm and wonderful, very intelligent students with impressive board scores and residency placement. and although I'm a minority from California and didn't know what to expect of Nashville, I loved it, and it wasn't hick-ish, and even heard there is a salsa club and lots of regular hip-hop clubs, not just country music :)

What impressed you negatively?

nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the grayline shuttle DOES NOT pick you up right next to the library like i thought it would, it picks you up in front of the hospital down the street!!!

What are your general comments?

The faculty member i had during my interview was the sweetest man ever, one of those cute grandfather-types. Vanderbilt is impressive, the students were good-looking, relaxed and happy with a system with pass/fail, without a curve grades.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
