What impressed you positively?
The nature of my interview. The flexibility of the program and the various electives to choose from. The amount of patient interaction in the first 2 years (following a pregnancy or a geriatric patient). The Primary Care Track.
What impressed you negatively?
The medical school building is old. The lunch at the hospital cafeteria.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you drive, I suggest parking in the University Hospital visitors parking garage, off of Adelbert (very close to med building: I paid $8). A previous interview feedback posting said that they validate parking. I found that they do NOT.
What are your general comments?
Surprisingly, my interview was CLOSED-FILE. All the postings on interview feedback I had read were all open-file, so that was what I was expecting. My interviewer really never asked me any questions. He glanced at the first sheet of my AMCAS and saw my major and wanted to know why I chose it and secondly, why medicine. The he told me about himself and how he got into medicine (a very interesting story, I might add). The interview was totally conversational and seemed to be very informal. He told me the reason he liked to do closed-file interviews was to get a "gut feeling" about the candidate and their desire to be a doctor. Overall, the interview went really well and my interviewer was very easy to talk to.
