How did you prepare for the interview?

read over app, 2ndary. duke has a lot of mtl on their web site, which i read over

What impressed you positively?

students seemed very happy. interesting cirriculum. pass w/honors/pass/fail grading system. research opportunites

What impressed you negatively?

nothing negative stood out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

students are heavily involved. there are students on the admissions committee and on the curriculum committee. not so much "wish" i knew, but didn't know until i got there

What are your general comments?

very positive. duke is probably my #1 choice, which is too bad b/c it's soo competitive. overall, they are looking to see who fits in and can gain the most in their system, so be yourself. if you get an interview, they know you can handle the work. fyi, interviews are open file except your gpa and mcat score to reduce bias.. a great idea

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
