How did you prepare for the interview?

Read "How to get into Medical School" by Brown, wrote down responses to popular questions and looked at informational publications by the University.

What impressed you positively?

The school and town is very beutiful and most of the people are wonderful and down to earth.

What impressed you negatively?

The assumption that you can just tell highly stressed candidates how to get to their first appointment at a totally new location and they should be able to get there without difficulty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who my interviewers were. Most schools give you that information about a week before the interview which gives you an oportunity to 'get to know' the people you will be talking to ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

As other people will tell you, it is awesome to get to a school and the Admissions Administrator (Lenoa) knowns your first and last name and is well acquanted with your application. My two interviews went quite well. My first was with an MD in pathology who asked logical and direct questions and went out of his way to make sure he understood me. My other interviewer, also an MD, is involved in evangelical work and he gave me a strong sense of the school's values and mission. He was direct about telling me he thought I was a strong candidate. I came back from California with a positive impression about Loma Linda and am very happy about the way things are done there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
