What impressed you positively?

"The campus is very nice. Plasma screen monitors, impressive anatomy lab, expanding facilities, nice area." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The faculty was not as friendly as some of the other interviews I have been on. The interviewers seemed to be trying to throw you off rather than getting to know your personality. Another concern I had was the 100 student increase that is going to be taking place next year. It sounded like they were taking steps to compensate for a larger class but from talking to other students, it seemed that 3rd and 4th year students are already struggling for good rotation spots." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"It would have been nice to know the type of interview I was about to receive but I believe that your interview experience is something difficult to predict since a lot of it really just depends on who you happen to interview with that day and the kind of personality and attitude they have. " Report Response
