How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my own file

What impressed you positively?

Children's hospital is beautiful, students seem happy, required rural clerkship

What impressed you negatively?

Not a lot of opportunities for students to do research, this is really just a primary care school. Lack of people of color. Parking is a complete nightmare.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

There were no out of the ordinary questions, only about why I chose the school I chose, why medicine, etc. They both asked me repeatedly what I did in my spare time, I got the feeling they didn't feel like I did enough. (I work full time but am taking this year to have fun and do outdoor stuff before I go to med school). One interviewer hadn't read my file and started off kind of harshly, the other was completely prepared, very warm and relaxed. The day was soooo long, I was completely exhausted by the end, but it's definately my first choice now.
