How did you prepare for the interview?

UNR's online site

What impressed you positively?

People from my religion and school attended there; The fact that the campus is split between Las Vegas and Reno. Also the staf were naturally friendly... no one was superficial. Also, the first interviewer was a non-physician from sociology, chosen to cater to my undergraduate degree... very nice and personable. The second interviewer was a third year med student... a wonderful guy.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't get a chance to tour the campus, because of the location of the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much... they are straight forward.

What are your general comments?

First, you are assigned a Peer advisor that gives you advice on the interview process as well as any information you want on the school. Then you travel to UNLV for the first interview with a non-medical professor... specifically picked among the admissions commitee to cater to your undergraduate degree (Sociologist for Behaviroal sciences students). Then you go to the LV-Medical school, a small bldg where you meet up with your second interviewer, a third year medical student (this student gives you an interview, but has no decision in the final say as does the first interviewer).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
