How did you prepare for the interview?

Read others' feedback, school web pages.

What impressed you positively?

The students themselves seemed to have a genuine sense of family among them. The learning environment was open and modern, not cut-throat like some other schools.

What impressed you negatively?

The closed file interviews were very difficult for me to feel like I was making a connection since every quetion seemed like the kind of cocktail party chit chat you engage in with strangers to fill time: &quot;So where did you grow up?...What was your major&quot; and so on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I made the mistake of letting it slip during my interview that my husband's profession requires he work in a large city. In my post-rejection follow-up interview I was reminded that living in an already medically overserved city &quot;does not fit the mission of Brody.&quot; Also, being a relative newbie to NC, I was deemed a flight risk. Before your interview say this ten times: Underserved, primary care, North Carolina.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, so my jitters were higher than they should have been. Overall it was a very relaxed interview and I loved the school and learning atmosphere. The one-on-one time seemed like a waste.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
