What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Mean interviewers aren't always a bad thing, and not everyone gets nice interviewers. The majority of people I talked to who had had an interview with UAMS said that their interview was extremely laid back. One even said that they talked about snowboarding the entire time... That was definitely not my experience." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The school seems fantastic... I'm definitely attending. The atmosphere is very laid back, and the staff is very helpful. Even with a seemingly scary interview, I got in early.
