What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was really great. I had lunch and was given a tour before my interview. Some of the students, however, had their interviews in the morning. Once I met my interviewer I was relaxed and really enjoyed our conversation. He was really not out to trick me or confuse me. I didn't even realize how fast the time went by. Just relax and show them your personality!

What was the most interesting question?

The questions were pretty simple. The interviewer basically just wanted to talk to me and get the feel for what my personality was like. He asked me about my background, how I felt about September 11, what classes I was taking now and what was so interesting about them, why I want to go into medicine etc.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

The most challenging question was "If you had a patient who had pancreatic cancer and wanted to end her life, how would you handle it?"

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at the school's web site, looked over my AMCAS essay, had a mock interview with a friend.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the school. I felt calm and at ease shortly after I got there.

What impressed you negatively?

I really can't say anything bad about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I just wish I had better directions - I got stuck in major traffic while going there. Make sure to give yourself enough time.
