How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

read medical journals/articles, Wall Street Journal, practiced with family and advisors, and took time to reflect on my decision to complete a medical degree and what I wanted from a medical school.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers interest in my personal life and who I was. They weren't completely concerned with how well read I was, although current medical issues were discussed at length.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was almost fifteen minutes late starting. If I arrive that late to the interview, they would have rejected me for sure. I wish they should have shown me the same courtesy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This may sound arrogant, but I was well prepared for this school and was not suprised by anything.
