No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN Interview feedback, practiced talking to myself by answering questions I thought I would be asked (and never was), skimmed through file.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The school is great, the faculty and staff are great, the association with VT is great. My number one choice, and I'm afraid to find out what happens.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing in particular about this school -- it's great. However, one thing that bugs me is that schools can still reject or waitlist students who interviewed because of GPA or MCAT scores; couldn't they have saved us the money for the trip and not offered an interview if our GPA or MCAT was too low?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I felt I knew as much about the school as a non-student could, just from reading about it and asking questsions of students. I do wish I knew the Godfather was playing the night before the interview; I stayed up way too late watching it and the election coverage during commercial breaks. (But it did give me something else to talk about!)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall experience was really great. The interviewers really just want to get to know you, and I wasn't really asked anything too difficult. I didn't notice any of the interviewers taking actual notes, so either they have really good memories, wrote notes after I left, or I was too tired to notice them writing during the interview. I get the feeling that, for some students, there is already a preliminary decision on what to do with them regarding admission, but I could be wrong.
