Read bunch of sample questions; went over healthcare and managed care issues; this site; and NJ Med site.

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Cab travel time from train station to school (around 10 mins). Was a little stressed getting there in the morning because my train was delayed, but still made it there on time.

What are your general comments?

Interview overall was a good experience, very conversational and relaxed. I felt like the interviewer really wanted to get to know me and my motivation for medicine. Also, the interviewer was really prepared and knew my application, essay, and letters of rec quite well. Ask about one bad grade on my transcript, but was understanding.
