How did you prepare for the interview?

Familiarize yourself with the curriculum and the philosophy behind the medical education at Cornell. The website is extremely helpful.

What impressed you positively?

The school breeds this atmosphere of positivity - you see it in the students, the administrative staff, and the faculty. The interviews were very conversational, and it seems they really want to help you in the process of showing them who you are. The medical students are very enthusiasitic, and extremely engaging.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus is under a great deal of construction, and no matter where you are it seems there's a lot of commotion outside - try to tune out all the distractions around you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Its REALLY nothing to be worried or stressed-out about. Relax.

What are your general comments?

I walked away from my interviews feeling like I had a good conversation. They're not shy about emphasizing how happy their students are, and it shows. If PBL is your thing, this is your school.
