How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, read my AMCAS and did a lot of thinking

What impressed you positively?

beautiful campus, unparalleled anatomy lab, friendly laid-back students who rock the boards and get great matches,

What impressed you negatively?

all the goose poop on the walkways...haha, just kidding the wandering geese are fun. the only negative thing I can say about this school is the tuition. +53K, as was mentioned in the previous post. This is daunting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The $$$$ details and the fact that the students aren't as lame as some of the negative posts here said they were.

What are your general comments?

It was a great interview, I spoke with Dr. Carl Thompson from the physiology department (a PhD) and he was personable, funny and easygoing. The hardest part was when he asked me what would make me stand out against the other applicants, and when I was done with the self-marketing he replied "well, i'm not sure that's going to do it." Then I spoke some more, it seemed he wanted me to really sell myself and my personal qualities. Good news is after that he said "yeah, that'll definately do it." I felt like he really wanted to know about me, there wasn't anything about ethics or policy. Anyone who interviews with Dr. Thompson in the future will be pleased, he's a very kind man (and also a boyscout leader!).
