How did you prepare for the interview?

I spoke with friends, faculty, read this website, read the pfizer medical school prep book and had a mock premed interview.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and were very informative. My interviewers were very friendly and were very interested in me and the students were very postive and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

I was dropped off in front of the EdII building and I only had directions from the parking garage. Since I did not park I entered on the basement level and was lost running around in circles from floor to floor until I was directed to the correct place. I just wanted to know what floor the grand concourse area was on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did not know that UAMS prepared students with a 10 week course their senior year on issues of economics, insurance and real life situations. I also did not know they allow patient contact the first year. The geriatric research that is going on is amazing also. They are working on an Alzhiemers' vaccine.

What are your general comments?

I felt relaxed the entire time, except for when I was lost and thought I would never find the registration table. I loved Dr. Wheeler's introduction / orientation before our actual interview. He was very informative and funny, which relaxed us quite a bit. The interview was so much fun that the 60 minutes felt like 5 minutes! It felt more like conversation, not a drill session.
