What impressed you positively?

Great school, great faculty, beautiful campus

What impressed you negatively?

The average age of the first year class tends to be older, around 26. Being a graduating senior, I was the youngest in the interview group by 3 years. I felt out of place when we met other students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a 6 week required rural clerkship where you actuallly live in a small town of the schools choice, and this town could be 8 hours from portland.

What are your general comments?

My first interview was easy, alot of questions about my personality, I felt like he was trying to see if I would have good bedside manner. The second interview was long and arduous. Very interesting and difficult questions about policy and the politics behind the healthcare industry.
