What impressed you positively?

The student body was super down to earth and seemed to have normal personalities. I didn't see any "book robots" there, they were extremely helful. The assistant dean was extremely nice, faculty also seemed very personable.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities seemed to be lacking a tiny bit. There is no library or workout facilities specific to the medical school. Parking seemed pretty far away. There is a great study/game room that is new though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Reading interview feedback and browsing on SDN got me a little uptight about interviewing. I wish I had known that it was going to be laid back and no one was dissecting my every move.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview of the year so I was nervous when I first got there. There was nothing to be nervous about, both of my interviews were VERY conversational. Neither one of them (student and faculty) were "out to get me" they truly just wanted to talk. I felt like the pressure was off a little because they do not have access to GPA or MCAT, but do read your essays ahead of time. My faculty interviewer just asked me questions about my past experiences and at the end gave me his card and told me to email him with any questions. Each had 3 specific questions to ask, then we just talked after that. I wish I would have been a little more relaxed and let my personality show more. I was uptight.
