How did you prepare for the interview?

reread my essays, OSU websites, and StudentDoctor.net

What impressed you positively?

they seemed very open and relaxed (this was my first interview, but even so very little stress). It seems like the faculty really take an interest in the students and what they do. the tour was pretty weak, but the info session was good

What impressed you negatively?

the tour was done by students, who were good to talk to but didn't really show us anything interesting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

financial aid issues, the pace and structure of the interview, lots of other things

What are your general comments?

got there at 10:30, info about the school, info about the depts by an interesting faculty speaker, info about financial aid, info from a fourth year med student. Then lunch with first year students from 12-1. Short tour, then the interviews started around 2 in two or three time slots. Each lasted 40 minutes with one faculty member, then you were free to go.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
