How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on Jefferson, reviewed website, practiced interviews, reviewed my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone's attitude was great. They were all really friendly and helpful. I felt like they wanted to show me why they loved Jefferson so much.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the tour took us into more buildings instead of the tour guide just pointing and saying &quot;Such and such happens here.&quot;

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

All and all I was so relaxed during the interview day that I when it was over I couldn't believe that I had worried about it so much before. It started with an introduction to Jefferson and then a meeting with a financial representative. I then had a student interview, which was very relaxed and conversational. Lunch with a few students and admissions faculty followed and then we had a quick tour. My faculty interview was after that and I had to find where it was. (It helps to get a map of Jefferson before your interview day in case you realize that you don't known where your interview is.) The faculty interview was also conversational and other than a few obvious questions (e.g. Why Jeff? Why be a doctor?), my interviewer just asked questions relating to whatever we were talking about.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
