What are your general comments?

The day was very low stress and I felt really welcome. I felt like my interviewer, staff, dean, and students were trying to impress me even more than I was trying to impress them. The interview really gives you every opportunity to make sure they know what you want them to know. The vibe I got was very positive.

What was the most interesting question?

How do you want me to portray you to the admissions committee?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on SDN, checked out the school's website, reread my application and secondary application essay

What was the most difficult question?

Given your background as a public policy major, what are your feelings on the current healthcare situation in our country?

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything. The school is beautiful and the atmosphere is very friendly and conducive to learning medicine. The students seem very happy to be there and really try to sell the school, which I think is a good sign. My interviewer was extremely down-to-earth and I felt very comfortable talking to her.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The way they schedule their interviews. They only give one tour/lunch. It's at noon. If your interview is at 9am, you will sit around from 9:30 until 12 so I was glad my interview wasn't scheduled until 11.
