How did you prepare for the interview?

I thought through responses to typical medical school interview questions, like the ones on this site for DMU, and I also thought about my characteristics.

What impressed you positively?

The positive atmosphere on the campus, and how well everyone got along.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt prepared going in to the interview. After having browsed the school's website, nothing was shocking to me.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very stress-free. I highly suggest that you socialize with the interviewees to make you feel more comfortable, but most importantly be yourself and be honest. I was myself in the interview, and if I was not sure about a question or did not know the answer I told them and I got accepted!
