What are your general comments?
An hour session where the assistant dean of admissions talks about the school and does a problem-based learning exercise with the medical students. 3 half-hour interviews. Lunch with the tour guides in the hospital cafeteria and a tour of the medical school. Half hour group session with the dean of the school (or maybe of admissions...I forget which), where he gave us the opportunity to ask more questions and learn more about the school. He said he didn't have any say in the admissions process so it was ''safe'' to ask him any questions.

Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Tell me about your family. What makes you you?
What was the most difficult question?
I was given a long scenario that the doctor interviewing me had experienced. I was asked:
Who is at fault? Who would I sue? If I were a lawyer, would I take that case? If I were given a blank check, how would I use it to fix the problem?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, AMCAs and secondary application, school website, medical school books
What impressed you positively?
The intensity of the clinical exposure that begins in the first year. Lots of current medical students came into the admissions office during the day to visit with the staff and stayed to chat with the applicants and were all very friendly and welcoming.
What impressed you negatively?
The tour guides were unenthusiastic and unprepared.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Farmington requires a car, and it can be challenging even to get from your hotel to the school without one.
