What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about your family... I have a shaky past with my family-but the interviewer was really receptive even though at first I was reserved with what I was saying. He really wanted to understand me from my past until present-and I didn't feel judged at all.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Deep breathing, thought about how if they didn't REALLY want to meet me-I would not be interviewing (I'm not big [enough] on that whole confidence thing--but I felt absolutely great there), read up on HMOs/PPOs/POSs and other managed healthcare issues, reviewed my AMCAS, my secondary, and thought about how to really share myself and my experiences with them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are immaculate and state-of-the-art, the people (admin. and students) were not a bunch of Ivy-League eggheads, but rather intelligent, social, eclectic people who I really felt connected to.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really about Cornell--just a few of the uptight, cutthroat people in my interview group (just 2 though).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How it would not be a stressful, intense, and traumatic experience. Also, I knew about PBL and that it was important to their curriculum-but not the the extent that it is there--it's a huge deal there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

As my first interview I think it was awesome. I hope all the schools I interview at are as welcoming as Cornell-wishful thinking.
