How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, stuff that Rochester sent along with invite letter, my application

What impressed you positively?

Double helix cirriculum-clerkship starts first year where student start doing physical exams for patients; rochester encourages overseas opportunities-get $3000 from a faculty member to conduct your own research in another country;

What impressed you negatively?

I wish I saw more. I wanted to visit the dorms. I wanted to see the anatomy lab (you were given a picture of the lab).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Turn off your cell phone. It totally slipped my mind that my phone goes in and out of service. My phone kept on beeping the whole time the dean was talking to us. It was so embarrassing.

What are your general comments?

I loved the school. The fact that you start clerkship during your first year is a major plus. Let me talk about what's not posted up. I flew into Rochester the day before the interview. If you anyone is thinking about staying in a hotel, I recommend Econo Lodge. It's no Four Seasons, but it's cheap ($43 bucks) and it has a shuttle van that takes you to/from the airport and the university. There's a lot of places to eat around Econo lodge- Hooters, taco bell, boston market, just to name a few. Most people were done by 3/3:30 pm, with the exception of MD/PhD applicants who had multiple interviews.
