How did you prepare for the interview?

I had a mock interview with several people.

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the students, the PBL curriculum, and how at home they made me feel from the administrative staff to the sudents.

What impressed you negatively?

Their isn't much to the medical school. I wasn't allowed to see the anatomy lab. Onde of my interviewers seemed as if she had read the wrong file.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How far the parking was from the medical school was and where it was exactly located. I had to walk through the nursing school to find it.

What are your general comments?

The students were great. I felt like I was already one of them after the tour. My first interviewer was sincere and genuinely interested in who I was. I think my second interviewer thought I was somebody else. She asked questions that had to do with experiences I didn't do and blamed me for bad ones I never heard of. She also tried to prod me into answering her paradoxical questions the way she wanted me too. I didn't let her and I left feeling pretty bad about my chances.
