How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through the responses from this fall on this website. Reviewed my application and the student links on the CU website.

What impressed you positively?

The students spoke in depth with and those that I met in passing on the tour all seemed very down to earth, very friendly, and very, very happy and upbeat about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Cu is piloting a new curriculum for 2005 AND a new campus. . .lots of changes going on that could be fantastic, but will no doubt be bumpy. In particular, the curriculum doesn't seem fully developed yet. Also, they have little or no resources dedicated to developing community among the medical school students and faculty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Starbucks right across the street from the medical school building. . .perfect pre-interview.

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer seemed very interested in getting to know me and our "interview" seemed more like a personal discussion with a friend. The second interviewer was pleasant, but certainly had her list of questions to fire at me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
