How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website, read over my applications

What impressed you positively?

The fact that they take anatomy over the summer before (takes a lot of the pressure off during the year), the medical students seemed really happy, the fact that they give you an answer within a week (I got in!), the fact that they give free laptops and palm pilots to med students, the clinical learning center, small class sizes

What impressed you negatively?

They are still very new (which of course they can't help), my second inteviewer hadn't looked over my app yet which i thought was unprofessional, the construction was annoying, i had a hard time finding where they told us to park

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. I think it's going to be a competitive school in a few years.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was relaxing and conversational. I was surprisingly impressed by the school. I came in with the attitude that it was my backup school. I even enjoyed both interviews and felt very confident with the students and the atmosphere. THe students seems to love it there.
