How did you prepare for the interview?

I wrote out answers to practice interview questions and I have had mock interviews in the past.

What impressed you positively?

How much the students really love the school. They are like a family (all students despite classification). Also, it seems the students are taken care of as far as financial aid.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really negatively impressed me on my visit. The neighborhood is bad but my school is in the hood too ;)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how cold it would be and that we would be going outside in it. Also, that we would have to fill out a sheet that is similar to a secondary. It seems they should have just mailed that sheet with our real secondary.

What are your general comments?

I think my interviewer was a very nice lady, but just focused on my first semester grades too much. She would turn my answers around. I think she just wanted make sure i could handle medical school classes. It was just annoying for her to keep going back to them, i mean they were good enough to get an interview! advice: get there early because if you come late you will be there all day or come late and ask people how their interviews went...its up to you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
