How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school website, went over my research and applications, read SDN. Also talked a lot with my lovely student host.

What impressed you positively?

The dean and faculty were very nice, welcoming and laid back. The new Fitzsimmons campus will be amazing. The weather-Colorado has 300 days of sun a year! It seems like a great learning environment.

What impressed you negatively?

That the whole school will have to move in a couple years, which will probably create some problems. Also, it doesn't seem like there are many research opportunities unless you do MD/PhD.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

You start the day off listening to the administrator give a little talk about the interview process and the school. He is pretty funny and kinda puts on a comedy show. Then the Dean gives a talk. We have 2 interviews which last about 30 minutes each. The interviewers have only read your essays-they do not know your GPA/MCAT scores. They want to know if you have a funky score, so tell them before they find out when you aren't there to defend yourself!
