What are your general comments?
Interviews were practically stress-free, more like an informal chit-chat. Campus is pretty. Just be prepared for a long day. Make sure that you (and whoever comes with you) has something to do, like a book to read or something. There will definitely be some downtime.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What would be the most difficult transition for you in coming to medical school?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read school's website, went over applications
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about the toughest time in your life and how you dealt with it.
What impressed you positively?
People were very nice. Interviews were very informal and relaxed - mostly just chatted about interesting things I'd been involved in. Campus is very pretty. Tour was good, and they let us see a cadaver in the lab.
What impressed you negatively?
The only thing that bothered me was that it was a looong day. Also the school is very expensive.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviews, while open-file, were very spontaneous - the interviewers had had our secondary applications, which we had only turned in just that morning, and that was what they went off of. Seemed kind of random at first, but it turned out great because that made it practically stress-free... they didn't grill you on anything.
