How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, talked to friends. Talked to the MS-1 who was assigned to me (which was VERY helpful).

What impressed you positively?

Both of my interviewers were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. The MS-4 who interviewed me really seemed to like the school and was very open and honest about UNSOMs programs.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers did have identical lists of questions to ask me, which was a little off-putting. But we got fairly sidetracked in both interviews talking about my research and clinical experiences anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a great experience. The interviewers were very friendly and personable. They made me very comfortable and were never confrontational or rude. My faculty interviewer did ask some ethical questions and defended views opposite to mine, but in an 'i want to challenge you to think' way not an 'i think you're wrong way'. I had a great experience and think that attending UNSOM would be a very positive experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
