What are your general comments?

We didn't have to be there until 10:30, so that was nice. A short presentation by the dean of admissions gave tons of great info about the school. Then came a tour, which wasn't worth it and no help, and then interviews. It was one interview with 2 people - one faculty member and a med student. There was no financial aid presentation b/c the department was out of town. That was kind of disappointing since I had heard such great things about financial aid at UNMC. Done by 1:30 p.m. Overall it was a pretty good experience and I look forward to hearing back from them.

Interview questions they asked

I was asked this too

Nothing really, just a lot of the basics.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

What do you think is going to be the toughest part of medical school for you? This was really difficult to try and pick one thing.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my AMCAS application and personal statement, read all of the UNMC website.

What impressed you positively?

How much they get you involved in the clinical side of medicine, even in your first and second year so that you are adequately prepared for 3rd year rotations.

What impressed you negatively?

The student giving the tour didn't really show us much - didn't have access to many places, including anatomy labs, etc. So it was just basically a group of people wandering around - not helpful at all to get to know the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No surprises, really.
