How did you prepare for the interview?

I read a lot of websites, including this one, about med school interviews. I also researched information about ethical and controversial issues.

What impressed you positively?

I was applying to the joint BA/MD program and I had two interviews. This post is just about my first interview. The interviewer was very enthusiastic. She was very nice and I liked the fact that she was enrolled in the BA/MD program. She made the interview very comfortable. It was her first time interviewing anybody and it was my first interview. She was very laid back and made me feel as if I was just talking to one of my friends.

What impressed you negatively?

There was not really anything I found negative about the interview. I was just surprised at how relaxed I felt at this interview. The interviewer definitely made me feel comfortable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known exactly which medical school classes I would have the choice of taking in my junior and senior year of college if I was accepted into the BA/MD program.

What are your general comments?

It was a great interview. I felt really good about it afterwards. The interviewer even told me that I did really well at the end of the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
