Looked up common questions on the internet. Answered them with key points...I did NOT memorize my responses. I wanted to be myself.

Everyone was EXTREMELY nice, and made every attempt to make you feel comfortable. My nerves were gone after the first 10 seconds of my 1st interview and never returned.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. LSU-Shreveport is a premiere institution.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

RELAX and be yourself.

What are your general comments?

After an hour of orientation and summary of medical school, we were given a card with our interview times on them. Each student had 2-3 interviews scheduled at hour intervals. After your 2-3 closed-file interviews, you met with Dr. Kennedy (Asst. Dean of Admissions) for an open interview/review of your file that lasted from 2-10 minutes depending on the weaknesses in your file. After all applicants finished interviewing, 5 medical students gave us a tour of the facility. The tour guides were extremely nice and answered any questions we had. Overall, the interview process was laid-back and very enjoyable. Every student walked away smiling.
