How did you prepare for the interview?

re-read my primary and secondary apps, looked at the school site, this site

What impressed you positively?

the whole atmosphere at UMD was great. all the faculty members, students, and doctors were incredibly friendly and helpful. the hospital, especially the new weinberg center in AMAZING! the library is also really nice, as is the shock trauma center.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really; just make sure you call in advance about what time your interviews are scheduled at, otherwise you might be sitting at the admissions office doing nothing if your interviews are in the afternoon and you show up at 8.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i was way too nervous about an interview that was so laid back. like everyone said, it was more like they were trying to recruit you than anything else.

What are your general comments?

overall it was a great experience. friendly people, incredible facilities, good food (i got a whole sandwich, not a half), and really informational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
