How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, Tulane's website, stayed with an AWESOME student host who answered many questions.

What impressed you positively?

Everything - the people are so nice (people see that you're in a suit and approach you to see if they can answer any questions), everything is located in one place ( as opposed to spread out over several miles), the clinical opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

I knew New Orleans has some bad areas - but the buildings are connected by second story tunnels. The tour of the cancer center was pretty boring.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Interviews - one faculty, one with chaplain, one with second year student. The one with faculty went really well -ended up talking about the recall election in CA and where to work out in New Orleans. Very impressed with the diversity and caliber of the student body. The Reilly fitness center is amazing. There is plentiful inexpensive housing there. My interviewers were super nice - although I'm sure they are to everyone, so it's hard to read my chances. My student host was incredible - I highly recommend it. She gave me a tour of the city and showed me anything I was interested in. There just seems to be a camaraderie there and so many resources for students. Tulane is now in my top 3.
