How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on NS health care (I'm from Ontario), read a medical ethics books, mock interview, practice questions, introspection

What impressed you positively?

Laid-back students, very friendly interviewers seemed truly interested in what I had to say. It really felt like the school as a whole put a lot of effort into the weekend.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing - I really did like it!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they were going to serve delicious looking cookies in the interview waiting room - maybe I could have mentally prepared myself so I wasn't too nervous to eat one.

What are your general comments?

First off the interviewers made a few jokes and said "We know it's an interview but we don't want you to be nervous." They seemed to have a good grasp of my ECs and essays. Definitely a give-and-take type interview - I didn't feel like I was just talking at them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
