How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

4 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The interviews themselves were very laid back. One with a student, and one with faculty. They had a copy of my AMCAS, but the grades and MCAT scores were blacked out. It was really more of a conversation in both cases, beginning with the basic "Tell me about yourself..." If you're coming to Madison to interview, please don't get too stressed, I realize now that I shouldn't have.

It was VERY laid back, and we were able to see a 15-min video of the construction of the brand new facility that will be completed next summer, YAY!

The tour was pretty boring, especially because it was of the old facility which none of us will be using when we start.

Not too much, I've been in Madison for the past 3 years, so I realize its shortcomings (PARKING) and its strengths (THE PEOPLE)
