How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the most interesting question?

None stand out particularly -- they were all basic, predictable questions.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked how I would reconcile the part of me that wants to help everyone on a personal level with the "doctor" part of me that cannot -- it was basically "Do you REALLY know your limits?" asked in a circuitous fashion.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I checked out the school's website, reviewed my AMCAS application and the supplemental application I sent them, and looked at this website for comments.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was absurdly friendly and welcoming, from the students to my interviewers to admissions staff. That in itself made me want to go there. Plus, a new facility is being built that will be really cool. And there were barns with cows between the medical school and the hospital. How crazy is that???

What impressed you negatively?

Madison itself. Bear in mind that I come from a farm and cringe at city life.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How cramped Madison is...
