How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website, brushed up on health care in America (a weakness of mine), read over my AMCAS and secondary apps.

What impressed you positively?

The great enthusiasm with which everyone spoke of the school. I appreciate the cooperative, low-stress atmosphere. My interviewer was great for putting me at ease. Talking to her was like talking to someone you'd meet at a party.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the day was very pleasant. Our interviews were scheduled first thing in the morning so that we could enjoy the rest of the day. The formal presentation by the admissions department included several members of the administration who both seemed very eager to help us out any way they could. Two second-year students gave us a thorough tour and offered their candid opinions (largely positive) on a variety of subjects. Unless you have a good reason to do so, don't stress out about this interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
