How did you prepare for the interview?

I read Kaplan's Medical School Admissions Guide and browsed StudentDoctor.net.

What impressed you positively?

The Assistant Dean of Admissions is incredibly friendly and made me feel immediately comfortable. She also gave me a bit of background information about my interviewers before I met them, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere in the admissions office feels almost casual, and the interviews felt more like conversations than a Q&A session.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking is nearly impossible! Arrive early and use the free valet service!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I had prepared questions for my interviewers, because both of them expected me to ask just as many of them as they did of me.

What are your general comments?

My first interview was slightly difficult because I had a really hard time answering "Who are you?" However, by the time I met my second interviewer, I felt at ease and the conversation was seamless.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
