How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked online for possible interview questions, talked to others who have been interviewed, went over my application, then relaxed :)

What impressed you positively?

I liked the feel of the interview. It was less academically oriented but rather focused on getting to know me, what kind of a person i was, what i liked. It left me with an impression that the admissions board is more likely to view the applicate as a whole person rather than a test score or a GPA average. The entire process left me with an impressions that the medical students got a lot of support from the staff and faculty there. Everyone during the whole day was very helpful and positive.

What impressed you negatively?

One negative aspective of the visit came the actual medical school students that gave us the tour. They seemed nice and informative when asked a question, but they didn't have a clear agenda. It seemed like we wondered around the facilities without a real purpose.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish i knew beforehand that the separate interview with the community physician was also closed-file. I would've been more relaxed.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was not very intimiating, unlike many other medical schools. After the interview, i left with a positive outlook and a feeling that people there would genuinely cared about my well-been as a med student. Unlike other schools, the admissions process was clearly explained and not kept as a close-guarded secret. At no point did anyone make me feel like I was wasting their time. The interviewees were never in a rush and gave me ample time to answer. One interviewee even gave me some advice on med school should i attend next year.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
