How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the information here and on their website.

What impressed you positively?

Enthusiasm. My interview with a student provided 1000 times more insight into the world of Tulane medical school than the other interviews. However, the other two interviewers did have a ton of character and I really enjoyed talking with them.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothin' much.

I wish I had known that a 30 minute interview isn't nearly enough time to portray yourself as you might wish to be portrayed.

What are your general comments?

Laid back and fairly informational. The people that interviewed on the same day as me seemed fun.
