What impressed you positively?

"The medical center, the enthusiasm of staff, administration, faculty - pretty much everything.

What are your general comments?

"Please keep in mind it was very low stress through all of this; we all assembled in a conference room (~40 people) with snacks and drinks, and then had a presentation from the Dean of Admissions (Dr. Hill). Students were brought in to talk to the applicants as a group while people were pulled out of the room for their interviews - given by a panel of one faculty and one student. The interview took place in an office, was very conversational, and led by the faculty member. The student asked a couple of questions, but was mostly there taking notes. After the interview, we were placed back into the conference room, served a wonderful buffet lunch (seriously, best interview meal I've ever seen) and we were allowed to talk with the students and other applicants more. We then went on a tour of the facilities, reassembled, and we were given a talk regarding financial aid and closing comments by the Dean and staff members." Report Response
