What are your general comments?
I was very pleased to see the atmosphere of a school like ecu. I had always had a negative idea of ecu as a school, but most of that was from the average undergrad experience and shouldn't be used to describe the type of medical school ECU really is. It really seems to be a positive, non-competitive, enriching place. We started in the office of admissions (there were only two of us that day having interviews) and they gave us envelopes with the interviewer and his office number. Each interview was very relaxed, mostly asking questions of family, background, etc. There were many of the typical questions (strength, weaknesses, etc) but they were asked in a very non-threatening way which alleviated some of the stress of the typical med school interview.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
read this website, thought about how I would answer basic interview questions (family, background, strength/weakness, why medicine, etc)
What impressed you positively?
the small class, commitment to primary care. I really was impressed with the level of commitment the faculty has to teaching. Professors are there to teach, and most of them have offices a couple floors above the medical school.
What impressed you negatively?
I don't like Greenville too much, but its close enough to the beach to make easy weekend trips, and close enough to raleigh/chapel hill for the same.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
the availability of the professors for clarification and extra help is incredible.
