How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the interview feedback of my kind predecessors and considered how I would answer questions they had been asked. Looked at WSU website. MSAR.

What impressed you positively?

The passion of many of the students. The involvement in the Detroit community. Let's face it, the area needs whatever help it receives.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Must drink water prior to interview. Mouth... so dry.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were really nice. I'm not sure I made it clear above--they interviewed me 2-on-1 (one was an M3, the other a professor), such that I was interviewed by a group (not that I was in a group of interviewees). The interview was focused on my reasons for pursuing medicine, which was fine, except that this lasted for 65 minutes and I did the majority of the talking. It was an adventure and a positive experience nonetheless.
