How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through SDN and read through the schools written materials.

What impressed you positively?

The program is absolutely outstanding. There are doctors practicing in every specialty that a student could be interested in. Students are trained to communicate well in Problem Based Learning Groups, respond well in the simulation lab and practice well on clinical rotations at one of the finest hospitals in the country. The students seemed well rounded and bright without having medical school be their only focus in life.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Extra curricular activities available in Pittsburgh.

What are your general comments?

I was very positively impressed with the school's facilities, the administration and the students. As a whole, I think that Pitt has a truly healthy approach to teaching future doctors. The interview day was THOROUGH!!! But to be honest, I was glad they took the time to get to know me. I traveled six hours to the interview and felt that every part of the day made it worth the trip.
