What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

If you had to choose right now, what specialty or area of medicine would you pursue?
What quality from our admissions critieria do you exhibit best? (luckily for me I had read the admissions criteria that was given to me in my folder)
Why medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Give me an anecdote from your life that will tell me that you are willing to be inconvenienced (ex. personal time) by medicine.

What was the most difficult question?

Did you take calculus in college (my answer was no, so it was difficult for me to admit that).

What impressed you positively?

the medical center complex is AMAZING and the med school (some of it anyway) is being renovated. Food was good. One of the Doc's let us see pt.'s with him!

What impressed you negatively?

a bit unorganized but it was their first round of interviews so it'll prob. get better. Not just too many students around (but it was the first week of classes). Parking sucks. The whole place is one big confusing mess.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how to get from the parking garage to the med school. Go out of the garage on the ground floor and walk southwest (probably the way you drove in) toward the long brown building (Herman hospital will be on your right). If that just confused you (it did me) then ask someone for directions (just like i did).

What are your general comments?

both interviewers were a bit, say, nonpersonable. The first one lasted 17 minutes, the second was better and a bit longer. Fairly standard questions, nothing out of the ordinary. Overall good impression of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
