Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

everyone comments about the parking problems, so I'll throw in my 2-cents. as a student here, I would recommend looking for a spot in the red parking deck on norfolk street instead of the surface lot. you can park anywhere that "looks like a spot" (minus guaranteed/reserved/handicapped), and you won't get a ticket.

What are your general comments?

The interview was extremely laid back and very conversational. I interviewed with a basic scientist who gave a brief background on his research, then started asking conversational questions about my motivations, clinical experiences, research, etc. My interviewer definitely fostered a great dialogue throughout, and allowed me to really express myself. I was really impressed by the school's atmosphere and its many community health initiatives.
