What impressed you positively?
The admissions office called me the day before I had the interview to inform me that my interviews in the afternoon. It meant that I did not have to travel unnecessarily early that morning.
What impressed you negatively?
My second interview was with a faculty member who was a researcher that was not involved in the medical training process at all. He spent ten minutes asking about my undergraduate university: how many students attend it, how many pre-meds, etc. I did not know how many students attend my school, and it did not feel like he was evaluating me for medical school admission.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to depend on the faculty interviewer to answer my questions about the school.
What are your general comments?
The interviews were not as difficult as I had anticipated, and the staff and med students were very friendly. Just really look over your applications carefully, because this school definitely asks questions based on your apps.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
I would suggest they be more careful in selecting interviewers.
