Was my last interview, so I was pretty seasoned by this point; just read over the website.
What impressed you positively?
How accessible and friendly the students were, the unbelievable research facilities, the food we were served. Both my student and faculty interviewers were very warm and welcoming.
What impressed you negatively?
Lots of downtime during the day. The teaching facilities were very nice, but not quite what one intuitively would associate with HMS. Most of the students live in dorms. Nice dorms, but still dorms.
