How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What was the most interesting question?

If you were to select a book character who in some way embodies your goals for being a physician, who would it be and why?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

As a group, list with rankings the top 5 traits of a good doctor. (Mainly difficult because I focused on personal traits like being morally informed while one person was primarily concerned with technical competance)

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Here, asking friends their impressions of the day, contacting a student friend

What impressed you positively?

Sincere focus on PBL that stood out as being much more sincere than that found at many schools. Laid back, *happy* students.

What impressed you negatively?

Slightly less pride than top 5-type institution. A worry that one would not learn how to treat patients in $$-limited healthcare systems (which are the norm.)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is a LONG LONG day. Get as much sleep as possible and make sure your shoes are comfy because otherwise you will not be in a good mood by the end.
