Brief Profile:
I received my first degree from the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati in 2008. Since then, I have been taking various science classes in a non-degree seeking program at the University of Cincinnati. I am applying for 2011 admission into medical school.

Summary of Experience:
I was extremely impressed with Wright State. The facilities are extremely modern, and the curriculum has been thoughtfully formed to create the best possible learning environment. Of all the schools I have interviewed with, Wright State\'s medical students were the happiest and proudest of their school. On my interview day, I got an extremely good vibe from the school. The availability of faculty and staff throughout one\'s education and the small class size are extremely attractive qualities.
Summary of Experience:
I had two one-on-one interviews. The first interview was a very relaxed conversation between myself and a Biochemistry professor. The second interview was an intense analysis of the experiences section of my AMCAS application followed by ethical questions and a lengthy analysis and quiz of my knowledge of radiology. I was not expecting such an intense interview, but I understood the interviewer\'s reasoning for the interview format. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the quality of the facilities and the tour given by the medical students. I believe that Toledo has a lot to offer, but my interview day did not highlight any of those qualities.
I withdrew my application after receiving an acceptance e-mail, because the University of Cincinnati is still my top choice.
