How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, participated in a mock interview, had conversations with health care and non-health care people about "hot" medical issues (e.g., stem cell, insurance, etc.)

What impressed you positively?

Clinical opportunities, opportunities to volunteer, opportunities to go abroad, professors only responsbility is to teach - they don't have clinic or research commitments, many student support services, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stress-free the interview would be! I spent too much energy stressing about it!

What are your general comments?

I had a 30 min tour which was led by two 1st year students. They were very informative and had a good sense of humor! We then went to the cafeteria where they ate, but I didn't. (They give you a voucher for lunch, but I just used mine for water.) I then had a 60 min interview with someone from the Office of Student Affairs. She was super friendly and very laid-back!
