What impressed you positively?

"The entire interview day was set-up well, and events flowed very smoothly from one to the next compared to other schools. The facilities were top-notch, including both medical facilities and student facilities. It seemed fairly clear that students among the professional schools (law, nursing, etc.) interacted with each other, whether through electives or in the common areas. As a Maryland native, I'll tell you the location is great and safe (as long as you're not an idiot and wander into areas you shouldn't be in the first place)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"We had to find our first interviewers ourselves. Although the office gave us directions, it would've been nice to have someone show us the way considering most of us had not been on campus before." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I wish I hadn't prepared so much! Truly, both of my interviews (I happened to have 2 faculty interviewers, which I understand is unusual) were conversational and nothing felt forced." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"As an in-state applicant, I was obviously interested in Maryland before I stepped foot on campus, and the interview day reinforced my confidence that I would get a strong education and experience here.
