No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, google, other students from the school, looked over application, thought of specific examples from my life to talk about.

What impressed you positively?

The students were willing to show me where an office was, even tho they were in the middle of tests. The interviewers were not grilling me, and were very candid.

What impressed you negatively?

The horrible map that is incorrect & confusing. The huge group of interviewees. The room numbers for interviews could be wrong.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The med students would not be able to do the pre-event metting or the tours (cuz of tests). The students are friendly. Get there before 7:45am!

What are your general comments?

I got there on time, and the dean had already started talking. His presentation was very impressive and encouraging for the students. My first interview was scheduled in the wrong place (luckily I arrived early, asked someone, and got there on time). I lucked out with the interview, because we had a lot of things in common and had an enjoyable hour long talk. Then lunch was "interesting," chicken fried steak and potatoes (needed caffene for my last interview after that). My last interviewer was also awesome - we talked about balancing family and profession. No hard/ ethical questions. I got the sense that neither was on the adcom, tho both said they wanted me back next year. :)
