How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, read my interviewer's bio ahead of time.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great, I encountered some really friendly people, Nashville (despite what other people say), high quality of life among students, good student/faculty relations.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

A medical student actually bagged on my school when he saw the list of interviews for the day (in the admissions office), not knowing I was in the room! It came to his attention that I was there, and we held a brief conversation (about unrelated things) in which he was extremely condescending toward me. I met several med students that day who seemed cool, down-to-earth types, but that one experience left a very negative impression on me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it seems more like a popularity contest than a medical school admissions process at Vanderbilt.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It went relatively well, I think. (?) My interviewer was nice, but pressed me hard on a couple of issues. It was hard to tell if the interview went well. He didn't really seem all that into it.
