How did you prepare for the interview?

Here, talking to students, looked over application...

What impressed you positively?

Students are really happy. School is very student focused. Great class comraderie. All first years are paired with a second year, and they really, really help them - much more than at other schools. Cost of living is so cheap. Very musical city.

What impressed you negatively?

Nasvhille is pretty southern. The curriculum is pretty traditional - students take anatomy first semester and then physio second semester, rather than integrated more.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I really liked the school. The students are super friendly and seemed really happy. I am totally siked because I got in (heard 5 weeks after interview). Just wish the curriculum was a bit more integrated and less focused on memorization.
