How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS, reviewed my research, which we never talked about.

What impressed you positively?

the people are all really great, the facilities are nice, and the school felt like it fit me well. i could see myself going to school here. tuition's cheap, but apparently the school is quite financially stable too, since it has a profitable hospital, and it shows. both interviewers seemed to have read my file quite thoroughly.

What impressed you negatively?

you know, can't really think of anything...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the hospital isn't really included in the tour... i got to see part of it during an interview actually, but i'm assuming that's not the norm...

What are your general comments?

it was a good experience, staff & faculty were very nice, and the other applicants were pretty cool too, which hopefully is a sign that next year's class will be a fun group. the school reminds me a lot of my alma mater, and i think i would enjoy being here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
