How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed AMCAS, reviewed NJMS application, reviewed interview feedback site, and SDN

What impressed you positively?

information from students, the interviewer's enthusiasm toward me...

What impressed you negatively?

My own personal bias, but I still don't like Newark.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is hard to find, even in Lot 1, where I was told to park; the interview was incredibly relaxed.

What are your general comments?

I was extraordinarily lucky...my interviewer was a former professional athlete, as was I, and is a minority, as am I. I was told that he would recommend my acceptance to the AdComm, and also ask them to pony up scholarship monies for me - all during the interview! Let's hope it comes to pass!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
