What impressed you positively?

Vandy cares a lot about its students and wants them to be happy. The admissions staff made sure you were comfortable and took you to your interview, etc. I go to Vandy undergrad, which I have been impressed with, and I continued to be impressed by the medical school. The 2nd year students help out the 1st year students A LOT.

What are your general comments?

It felt more like an opportunity for me to understand the school better than an actual interview. My interviewer started the interview by letting me ask questions but was also very prepared and very familiar with my AMCAS. The interviewers don't see your secondaries.
