How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, amcas

What impressed you positively?

the financial aid, incredible stats such as ridiculously high board scores, 100% residency matching...everyone seems so accomplished, and it seems to be a result of being at that school. The small class size. I would think that the students must be incredibly spoiled by the high faculty-to-student ratio. (12 to 1, I think?!)

What impressed you negatively?

the LOOOONG interview day. I was afraid that I was coming off as standoffish when I was just incredibly tired and jet-lagged.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

to wear comfortable shoes with no height whatsoever because I must have walked miles during all the tours.

What are your general comments?

I really didn't expect to be as impressed as I was with the level of education that Mayo offers. I can't imagine anyone not succeeding once they attend school there. There are a wealth of opportunities there that I didn't really see at the other schools. I left wishing on a star that I would be one of the 40 students matriculating there.
