How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, went over my personal statement, reviewed my videotape of my mock interview, cnn.com for health issues

What impressed you positively?

the facilities were so nice, clean, and newly renovated. The staff were courteous and friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

That my interview was located at a different place, New Brunswick, from the lunch/tour/orientation.. the parking there was hell.. if I didn't take the valet as a last minute decision, I would have been late for my interview and would still be circling around looking for parking at the deck...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing reallie...

What are your general comments?

I was a bit disappointed that the orientation started 15 minutes late and they picked a tour guide last minute so I had to wait an extra 10 minutes to have the person come in... the tour guide was soooo talkative and we spent 15 minutes standing at one spot while he blabbed away...my interview was at 2 PM at New Brunswick and here I am at Piscataway campus medical school and the tour just ended at 1:10 PM.. I had to grab and eat my lunch super fast and left at 1:20 to go to New Brunswick for my interview... I was there at 1:40 and the parking deck was entirely full...i had to go around and look for other spots and eventually the deck opened..this was at 1:45... then I was circling around for 10 whole minutes without a single spot open and I was freaking out already so I resorted to valet parking and ran to the place where my interview was at made it at exactly 2 PM... regardless of that inconvenience, the interview went well. Dr. Tannenbaum was such a nice man and he liked me so I hope I get in!
