How did you prepare for the interview?

Student Doctor Network, reading up on current healthcare issues, talking to medical students

What impressed you positively?

The new building and friendly attitude. They straight up told us at the beginning that they weren't here to trick us or make us nervous... they just wanted to get a feel for who we are. They also have an optional medical Spanish course, which I thought was a great idea.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers have the choice of reading your file ahead of time or not. Both of my choose not to, so that threw me off a little. (They read it after they interview you if they don't before)

What are your general comments?

It was a really low stress interview and everyone was really friendly. Everything was really nice and new. If you are immediately accepted you find out by the following Wednesday, so I only had to wait four days! That was sooo nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
