How did you prepare for the interview?

I answered practice questions and read over all my application documents.

What impressed you positively?

The entire team was so nice, questions were encouraged and welcome.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of orientation-style presentations. Overall the interview day is very long, with only 1 hour of actual interview time. All helpful information, just a lot of time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews are actually half-closed. They have your personal statement, AMCAS, coursework (with no grades) and letters. GPA, grades and MCAT are omitted.

What are your general comments?

Know your application. All my interviewers seemed to know every single thing about me, and asked me hyper specific questions about what was on my application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
