What impressed you positively?

The interview was really low-stress. The dean of students was there in the waiting room, getting all of the interviewees to talk to each other and relax.

What impressed you negatively?

The other interviewees &amp; current medical school students I met seemed like a bunch of overachieving clones.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it wasn't going to be a gruelling interview-- I would've stressed less.

What are your general comments?

The questions were diverse (future ambitions, opinions on medical issues, hobbies, volunteer &amp; work experience). The interviewers were extrememly pleasant &amp; positive about everything-- which was kind of frustrating, because if they're that nice to everyone, it's hard to judge your own performance.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
