How did you prepare for the interview?

visited Duke website, this website

What impressed you positively?

lots of unique cases, patient lab has an artificail human to practice skills on rather than poking each other....and financial aid is awesome for a private school if you can show need....

What impressed you negatively?

the interview is only 30 min...and by the time you think you are getting started, it is already over

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the directions are so confusing to the admissions office...... the whole building is a mess so give yourself little extra time to reach there

What are your general comments?

There were 12 of us and in the begining no one was talking and everyone was just sitting quitely with their heads in the handouts...so I thought this is gonna suck big time.. but then it got better by the end of the day .... we had some Dean give a talk about school...then financial aid .... followed by lunch... the med students were not talking in the begining and then we started opening up a bit....we took extra 15 min for lunch and everything was pushed back 15 minutes.....then some of us had interviews and rest went on a tour.... faculty interview was horrible (there were 2 of them but the one I got was not good...he would talk in half sentences and would want me to complete his sentence and answer as well?????) I heard the other one was more friendly...and 2nd interviewer is a studentt which was awesome..... then we ended our day with a tour ... it went ok but be prepared to give yourself little extra time for finding the admissions office.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
