How did you prepare for the interview?

Student doctor network, talked to med students, read kaplans list of sample interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The great expansion that is currently taking place. There is a lot of construction and NJMS has received LOTS of funding from the state to increase its research capacity including a new cancer center.

What impressed you negatively?

Newark --- its not the best place to live, but it is a great place to learn.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To be a little more relaxed. The interview wasn't anywhere nearly as bad as I had anticipated. It's good to prepare, but after you do, just take it easy.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a very positive experience! I felt that I answered every question confidently without any hesitation. I must admit that it was a little difficult to tell how the interview went based on the reaction of my interviewer. When I left I generally had a good feeling, but then I started to think that it could have gone either way. I sent a thank-you letter to my interviewer because I wanted to convey my appreciation for her time and because I was told that it was proper etiquette. It must have gone well though because I was accepted about 2.5 weeks later.
