How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reddit, mock interviews, recorded myself answering common questions

What impressed you positively?

Staff, faculty and students seem very happy! The environment seems very friendly and laidback. Overall I had a great interview day.

What impressed you negatively?

There was a moment where I felt like my application was being torn apart and I had defend and explain my grades/mcat. It wasn't terrible, but just prepared to explain bad grades or any red flags. I think it was more a good cop/bad cop situation to try to see how you react under stress.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview is super laidback & conversational + dont stress! Know your application & be prepared to talk about any bad grades/low mcat.

What are your general comments?

I overall loved the interview day! They provided lunch for us, took us on a bus tour which was super fun. The staff and faculty made sure that we had everything we needed. Everyone was super nice and welcoming overall.
