What impressed you positively?

Everyone - staff, interviewers, etc - were SO nice.. both interviewers made the interview seem very low-key; they didn't seem to want to trip me up or anything. We really just had great conversations, so great that we lost track of time and the interviews went an hour and a half with the doc and an hour and ten minutes with the student - and I (and I think they) still wanted to keep going!

What impressed you negatively?

My student interviewer had to cancel on me because she was held up at the hospital - BUT she and the UNR staff were SO nice about it, and it was something that couldn't be helped. In my case, it really wasn't that much of a "negative" because I was in town for several days, but if someone were from out of town and only there for the day it could have caused major problems.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I really wish that I had been able to go and visit the campus to get a better sense of what the environment for at least the first two years may be like.

What are your general comments?

This was a really great interview experience. I began at the Las Vegas Med. School building for my interview with a 4th year med student. Unfortunately, she was held up at the hospital and ended up not being able to make it. The staff was awesome and hung out with me while I waited, and we rescheduled for the next day. Then I went to the physician's office for that interview. He was very nice, and we had a great conversation. He had a list of questions he asked me and seemed to want to get to each one, but it was quite conversational. I almost wish we'd had more time, but as it was the interview was nearly an hour and a half. The next day I met with the med student, and that was even better that the one with the physician. She was very nice and easy to talk to. I never felt like she was trying to trick me, but rather we discussed very real issues that a physician could encounter. She was also very candid about her positive and negative experiences at Reno, which I appreicated. Honestly, I wasn't sure that Reno would be a place I really wanted to go, but after this interview (and barring anything scary that I might see up at the actual campus) I'd feel very lucky to be accepted here!
