How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on my personal essay, looked back in detail about the platforms of organizations I had volunteered/worked for, looked at medical school interview questions from previous years, etc.

What impressed you positively?

I was suprised at how relaxed the environment was. I really enjoyed the three people who interviewed me. They were not intimidating in the slightest. I also liked the medical students who were there to break the ice before the interview. They were very comforting and understanding about the whole situation.

What impressed you negatively?

After the interview, I was suprised to hear feedback from other candidates who said it was very uncomfortable for them. If I had been a candidate in the next group, I would have been very scared after hearing how the previous group's interviews had gone.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had a few "out-of-the-blue" questions thrown at me (about my personal evaluations) that I was not expecting at all because I thought they would not be relevant to the interview. I wish I would have gone back and looked at other "self-promoting" essays that I had written in the past to be prepared for those kinds of questions.

What are your general comments?

Being from North Dakota, I knew what to expect as far as the atmosphere at the school. The people were all good-hearted and down to earth, which is how most of the people I deal with in my life are, so I was very happy about that aspect of the day. I did not get any kind of competitive vibe from any of the other applicants or the students/faculty, which was really important to me. The facility is very nice, so as long as a person can put up with the cold weather, UND is great for them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
