How did you prepare for the interview?

read my AMCAS, secondary, this web site and looked for any recent events material.

What impressed you positively?

The buzz of excitement about their new building and the newness of the school in general. The whole atmosphere was full of as much anticiapation as I have about med school.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to call to check on my app but they were very nice over the phone.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was nice to hear some hard numbers about how the two classes they have that have already taken the USMLE step one had done.

What are your general comments?

The interview was very good. The first woman I interviewed with was really easy to talk to and the interview was very conversational. The second interview was a little bit more stressful and more like a traditional interview. It was scheduled to be an hour long but he finished after about 30 minutes which made me nervous, but he was the same for everyone.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
