How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, read over my personal statement because that is basically what they get to read before the interview

What impressed you positively?

The commitment to NC residents despite the fact that its a private school. The problem-based learning and positive environment.

What impressed you negatively?

The price of tuition. Coming from NC, there are two other public schools in our state that would provide a great education for about 30% of the price of wake.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They provide five one-week preceptorships during the first year of medical school where M1 students work with primary care physicians in their offices to gain experience.

What are your general comments?

Being my fourth interview this fall, I felt confident that I "knew the drill" as far as interviews go. These, however, were quite different than the other schools to which I applied. First of all, the interviews are all conducted in the admissions office, and they bring in three different faculty members to conduct the interviews. All other interviewees have the same interviewees. Secondly, the office keeps an alarm set for 15 minutes per each interview. Three different applicants go to three different interviews for 15 minutes, the alarm goes off, then the applicants rotate. All in all, I was very impressed with the school as a whole, other than its steep price.
