How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Duke website, read about current healthcare issues

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students and staff and how much the students enjoy going to school at DukeMed (one student commented that he didn't even feel like he was going to med school because he was enjoying it so much-maybe a little far-fetched but encouraging none-the-less)

What impressed you negatively?

very little (if anything)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How friendly the students are; it causes the day to be much more enjoyable.

What are your general comments?

Loved it. Would go there in a millisecond if I'm blessed with the opportunity. The people (students and staff) are impressive and very friendly. A note of warning: be prepared to ask questions, you could be asked several times, during and outside of the interviews, if you have any questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
