How did you prepare for the interview?

Read AMCAS application and looked over the NJ Medical School website

What impressed you positively?

Every single person I encountered while at the school was extremely friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

My inteviewer didn't seem all that interested in what I had to say. She had a sheet of questions in front of her, but she only took notes on what I had to say for one question (How would I describe myself?). It made me feel a decision had already been made about my application. Also, I'm not sure that I could live in Newark and feel safe.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

As far as I can recall, nothing.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, so I was very stressed out about it, but calmed down from my very first interaction with a person at NJ Med. They were all such nice people!While I was waiting for my tour with another applicant, several students came into the room just to say hi and chat with us. They weren't associate with the interview in anyway; they were just making sure that we recieved a warm welcome. It was great. The tour guides were excellent. I didn't feel that my interviewer and I truly clicked, but I still left with an overall positive impression of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
