Read this site, went through my AMCAS app, read interview books, studied health care and ethics issues, practiced responding to different questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everything - I thought the parking lot was easy to find from the map and I enjoyed the "long" tour of the campus. The facilities, simulators, technology, and students were awesome. Also, Dr Hall spent 30 minutes with us answering questions prior to the interviews/tours, and was great - very honest and informative. Also impressed by the student organizations and opportunities.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Really nothing. If I had to pick something, it would be that we have to wait until mid-March for an acceptance/rejection/waitlist letter (I hope my patience holds out that long!).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing - I felt very well prepared. I was glad that I brought a pair of comfortable walking shoes for the tour (I put my heels in my hand bag during the tour).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Much better than expected. The interviewers were very nice - the actual interview was really a 4-sided conversation. Most other applicants did not share a similar experience though - most got "grilled" on health care policy or ethical issues. Overall, the experience was great.
