Re-read my application materials, looked online at several possible interview questions and thought about what answers I'd give, made sure I was up-to-date on current events, etc.
What impressed you positively?
The relaxed nature of both of my interviews. It was very conversational and none of the questions were particularly difficult. Both interviewers were eager to answer any questions I had.
What impressed you negatively?
Construction of the new med school will begin this coming summer--classes may be moved and they might be short on space.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would have known how easy going the interviews would be. There were no questions on controversial topics.
What are your general comments?
Both of my interviews were relaxed in nature. They started out by asking where I was from/how I grew up and then went into questions on why I was interested in medicine. Both interviewers asked about what questions they could answer. During my first interview, we spent the last 5 or 10 minutes chit-chatting about places we'd traveled, etc. Very conversational and comfortable.
