What was the most interesting question?

I didn't think the questions were that interesting. They asked me about working in groups because of the way the curriculum is set up, which part of is done in small groups with your classmates. I liked the question about what do I like to do for fun, because I'd rather talk about that than anything else they asked me. But unfortunately, that was the last question.

What are your general comments?

I was interviewed by three men, two faculty members (one PhD and one md)and one fourth year med student. They asked a lot of questions in that time period. It was supposed to be a "pleasant conversation," but I felt "on the spot" the entire time. The questions were hard, and with all the nervousness I felt, I had a hard time answering the questions that would reflect positively on myself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
