What impressed you positively?

The campus and facilities were very nice. The faculty, staff and students were extremely friendly. Everyone seemed content. Being from the south, I find Nashville to be a pleasant city to live in. I was surprised and delighted to see as many minority interviewees there (around 50%, 25% URM). But only a dozen or so students were in my group, so take those stats however you'd like. Finding out about the first year P/F and second year H/P/F grading system.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing except for some of my fellow interviewees who were stuck on the prestige of their undergraduate institutions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I really had a pleasant experience at Vanderbilt. I enjoyed meeting everyone and taking the small tour. The interviewer was very friendly, but he constantly interrupted me. He'd ask a question, and about 15 seconds into each of my responses, he'd ask another question. It was a little frustrating, but i doubt it'll make much of a difference in the end. I'd really like to attend Vanderbilt.
