If I talked to your best friend, what would she say is the worst characteristic that you have?

What was the most interesting question?

What do you think the solution is to the problem with the uninsured? (If there were an easy solution, wouldn't someone have thought of it by now?)

What was the most difficult question?

If you had a 14 year-old patient who was pregnant and wanted an abortion. You confirmed her pregnancy and she said that she didn't want her parents to know--she just wanted it to all go away--what would you do? (No laws in this hypothetical scenario)

What impressed you positively?

The Children's Hospital was wonderful. On Fridays, interviewees are shows the Children's hospital, so I wasn't able to see the main hospital. The library is nice and the students are really happy and actually have time to have social lives.

What impressed you negatively?

The Physiology lab seemed pretty old and rather small. The school does not require you to purchase a laptop (which may be a plus in your opinion), so everyone does not have access to the same software, and there is not wireless internet at the school. The school is underfunded and students made it clear that that is probably the only problem. Change is hard to make due to the money shortage.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview would not be stressful. I don't think that all interviews were as easy going as mine though. There were supposed to be 3 people interviewing me, I don't know what happened, but I was happy about it. Oh yeah, the school is really expensive for out of state students.

What are your general comments?

The day was really organized. We got a really nice demonstration of how the standardized patients are used and how they give feedback. The tour of the hospital was nice and for the tour of the school, there were several groups. The lunch was okay and the financial aid presentation was very helpful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
