How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up Pitt's catalog, my secondary, corresponded with Pitt Student Executive Council president.

What impressed you positively?

Caring environment, community-like feel between students and faculty, the many facilities available, state-of-the-art equipment. Cost of living in Pittsburgh is pretty nice.

What impressed you negatively?

They did not address financial aid AT ALL. I had to ask the Dean about it, who, to his credit, told me quite honestly that "institutional aid sucks".

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They don't validate parking, so find somewhere cheap to park, or stay with a med student the night before. Also, bring something to read. My interviewer was busy at the clinic and was 45 minutes late.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was impressed. Make sure you're proactive in getting your questions answered.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
