What impressed you positively?

"My tour guide! He was phenomenal. The tour guide actually spends a substantial amount of time with the group of interviewees: a tour of the academic grounds is followed by lunch (it's a very nice lunch, believe me) and a tour of the hospital. He was very knowledgeable, and very honest with us about his experiences and opinions (both positive and negative) about the school. There was also a financial aid session (optional) at the end of the day, which was very informative. Both interviewers knew my file very well. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Both of my interviewers. My first interviewer asked very bland questions ("Tell me about your journey") and didn't seem to really pay attention to my answers. My second interviewer seemed to want to antagonize me, and cut me off several times while I was talking. But keep in mind that (at least in my interpretation) they were just looking to see how I would react to a stressful situation; it certainly wasn't malicious." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The interview day was well organized. They give you a folder full of information which I found interesting. We spent a good portion of the day just with our tour guide, which was a nice alternative to presentations. The interviews themselves were rather stressful, although I'm sure it depends on which interviewer you're assigned (two interviews, both with faculty members). The day lasted from approximately 11 to 4. " Report Response
