What impressed you positively?

There was a really large group of interviewees that day and it was a pretty diverse group. Being a female, I was impressed with the fact that MD has a lot of female medical students. They are renovating a lot of the facilities. Baltimore is a pretty cheap place to live. In addition, everyone seemed so friendly, including the Dean of Admissions, Dr. Foxwell. The students seemed really happy to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm from MD and it didn't seem as though the tuition was really that much cheaper in comparison to out-of-state tuition. Also, it's a much more competitive process this year because they are interviewing about 200 more people this year in comparison to last and the number of slots open will remain the same.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Ladies, please wear comfortable shoes because the tour of the school requires a lot of walking. I was exhausted and my feet were killing me by the time I made it to my interview after lunch and the tour.

What are your general comments?

You get there around 8:30 a.m. and wait around until your first interview. Mine was at 10 a.m. so I sat in on a first year Biochem class. I suggest that you call the day before your interview to find out what time you are scheduled because some people don't interview until the afternoon and wait around until 11 am for the Financial Aid seminar. The schedule they give you tells of your day. Dr. Foxwell is very cool and down to earth. MD is really big on professionalism, so make sure you read about it on their web site to know what it means to them and what exactly they are looking for. Most importantly carry yourself in a professional manner (I think that's a given). The interviews are really conversational so just relax and be yourself. My interviewers were really relaxed and we just talked about me and school, not too much to do with medicine. It was weird. During my second interview, there was a lot of akward silence, don't really know what that means. But anyway I would say it was a really good experience and would love to go to MD.
