How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS, practiced with friend, reviewed my research

What impressed you positively?

friendly staff! Everyone was so nice!

What impressed you negatively?

we were a little rushed through the tour. But the students were really friendly and open to questions, anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had eaten a little more b/c I did not get to each lunch there.

What are your general comments?

all the people in admissions are really friendly and outgoing. my itnerviewer was not my scheduled interviewer but she was just as nice. we spent a while talking and she went into detail about what it was like to be a female physician in a very sub-specialty. it was a good day. it was hard to tell if she liked me or not because i could not read her expressions very well. I guess that's a good quality to have as an interviewer...
