How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview, read up on application and healthcare issues, made a list of questions you want to ask faculty and student interviewers

What impressed you positively?

absolutely everything

What impressed you negatively?

Much time was spent with 4th year medical students while waiting for faculty and student interviews, but it was difficult to tell how they were evaluating us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it was useless to be so stressed and nervous beforehand.

What are your general comments?

The 4th year medical students REALLY want to get to know you and made the interview atmostphere so comfortable. I talked about the Pistons, DJing, and other topics with them. Being an undergraduate at the same university helps, but everyone is eager to fill those traveling from other schools about all the details about Baltimore and the medical school. Always have questions to ask! Review the curriculum, attend visiting sessions beforehand, read the website, but get to know the school thoroughly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
