How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, review application.

What impressed you positively?

In the lecture halls, each student had their own seat that was decorated with their own pictures and other keepsakes. No dress code. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great anatomy lab--natural lighting--each cadaver is individually ventilated.

What impressed you negatively?

The day was really long.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Definitely stay at the General Lewis Inn. Normally, it's over $120/night but as an interviewee you get a special rate. It's especially convenient since breakfast starts there at 7:30am. Go to the breakfast to meet some of the staff and the rest of your interviewing group.

What are your general comments?

Great facilities and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Great place to study medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
