How did you prepare for the interview?
Didn't really. Thought about my answers to the "standard" questions, but there's not really a way to prepare for any one interview.
What impressed you positively?
The students seem very connected and close. The on campus housing is nice, but I don't think that it will work for my unique situation. They have a really nice gym with an indoor pool.
What impressed you negatively?
The day was very unorganized. The student tour group did not show up because all of the M1s had a special event that day. All of the candidates sat in the lobby for nearly 1 hour while the admissions office found M2s to take us around.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It was very cold and I should have brought a coat. The admissions office will store your stuff for you during the day.
What are your general comments?
Overall, good school with a strong research and primary care focus. Students were close and approachable. Area around campus seemed relatively safe and actually pretty nice.
