How did you prepare for the interview?

Stretching, running lines, and push-ups!!! Actually, I simply tried to sleep well the nights leading up to it and to remember to be myself.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone from support staff, to speakers, to intervieweres were extremely friendly and supportive.

What impressed you negatively?

A senior med student was one of the interviewers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone one else there had nicely tailored suits. I still looked sharp in a nice sport coat and slacks but felt a little out of place. My suit had a small hole that had developed in the arm.

What are your general comments?

I am lucky in that I live in Little Rock, just ten minutes from the medical school campus. However, I was two minutes late because I had forgot my I.D. in my wife's car. Turns out that I didn't even need it. Watched a film on the school and listened to a speaker discuss the curriculum. Interviews are scheduled for forty-five minutes. Was in their chatting for an hour and ten. Turns out that the student interviewing me had done research under the same undergrad professor that I had. She was expecting a littel girl and so we also talked about my daughter for a long time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
