How did you prepare for the interview?

Had people drill me with questions from Interview Feedback, read up on "current" and medically related issues, looked over my secondary essays and personal statement

What impressed you positively?

AWESOME facilities. I got the impression that the school is very dynamic, constantly trying to improve. My interviewer was very nice, probably the best interviewer that I've had to date.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was really short since we had to be back by 1:45 for interviews.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The "laws" for crossing the street in California are very different from other parts of the country. (Read: I almost got flattened.) Hahaha.

What are your general comments?

The whole day was well-organized and informative. It started out with sessions about the curriculum and financial aid. Then, a fourth year medical student spoke and fielded questions from the applicants. Lunch was with first and second year students (more time to ask questions). We were divied up into smaller groups for the tour, which was led by the same students who ate lunch with us. The interviewing started at 1:45 for me (the two potential times to be intervewied were 1:45 and 2:30). My interview went well over the scheduled 45 minutes (it lasted for an hour and 15 minutes), and it was COMPLETELY conversational. My intervier and I really hit it off: after the "typical" interview questions, we talked about random topics, like Christmas movies and Disneyland. :) My interviewer did his best to make me feel very comfortable. This was my first interview, so I was understandably kind of nervous. I ended up getting accepted, so it must have gone well!
