How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over application - it was amazing how accurate SDN's questions were - my first interviewer used about 5 or 6 of the questions that I had pulled off SDN and prepared for...

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Arrived at 10:30 (for all of you who don't go to UNC, understand that parking is nearly impossible and MacNider building is hard to find = go very early!), at 11 brief talk on financial aid, 2 very nice second years ate lunch with us (catering from Panera), then showed us around. First interview at 1:15, took place in the coffee shop-for me it was relaxing to be around other people. Interview was about 45 minutes, the doctor was very stoic and hard to read...thought i did ok though. Hung out in the waiting area for a while...med students were constantly stopping in to say hi and introduce themselves...i was very impressed. Second interview at 2:45, went into a big conference room, doctor was extremely personable and nice. Important note: Only one of your interviewers is on the admissions committee, I don't really know what the other doc's purpose is...just do a great job on both interviews and you don't have to worry about it! The first doc that interviewed me asked a lot of the questions found on SDN. The second doctor (who was on the committee) was more interested in just chatting for the most part.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
