How did you prepare for the interview?

Wrote out talking points and practiced using them in conversation

What impressed you positively?

The school changes its methods based on student input and changing data

What impressed you negatively?

Its located in the armpit of Louisiana. They are VERY full of themselves. The dean is snarky and kind of a jerk. There are SO MANY typos all over their website. The official correspondence is worded very informal and comes off very unprofessional.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known they are very partial to certain types of students and that I should have interviewed with them by being unapologetically myself. I also wish I would have known that one of the interviewers would ask me a very rude question so I could have been prepared to get frosty in the interview.

What are your general comments?

Be on your guard here. There facilities are good. They are a good place to learn because they are still a medical school. Just be prepared for rude questions. Don't let your guard down for Dr. Kennedy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Revise the official correspondence and make it less informal. It came off as very unprofessional. Also, correct the typos and mistakes.
