How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread AMCAS, practiced interview questions from list, mock interviews, reread secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone (deans, medical students, interviewees) was extremely friendly and got along well. The Loma Linda Medical Center is a fascinating teaching hospital that will prepare students during their clinical rotations. The emphasis for faculty on teaching along with the school's reputation for educating great clinicians puts me at ease about receiving a great education.

What impressed you negatively?

I had to walk 15 minutes just to get to my second interview, plus the room was difficult to find.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

What are your general comments?

The 4 hour orientation started off with the first 2 hours reserved for interviews. My first interview was with a medical student who was really cool. The second interview was with a doctor who gave me as much as advice as he asked me questions. The campus tour was fun, and the other interviewees were friendly. The day ended with lunch (vegetarian) and socialization.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
