What are your general comments?

I got there around 11 AM and had lunch with fellow interviewees and some med students, who were extremely friendly and talkative. They told us all about their experience with the school and what they liked about it. Then I met with 2 different interviewers for about 45 minutes each. They basically pulled out my file and asked me about everything in it. Then they asked me some general questions like "what should I tell the committee about you?" It was very informal and made me feel like they were just trying to get to know my personality.

What impressed you positively?

The building is brand new and it looks great. The students all had fantastic personalities and did a very good job selling their school. I could tell that they really enjoyed going there. Also, they did a great job giving me tons of information about the school. The interviewers themselves were pleasant and gave me plenty of opportunities to show who I was as a person. They seemed generally interested in what my personality is like.

What impressed you negatively?

The lack of a teaching hospital is definitely a minus. You have to travel to other hospitals to gain access to needed resources. Also, the fact that you have to leave after 2 years and go somewhere else in the state to work at a hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would have scheduled myself for the 8 AM visit instead of 11 AM, because I wasnt done until pretty late in the afternoon.
