How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, Personal statment, practiced interviewing.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty was very genuine. They want to produce caring doctors.

What impressed you negatively?

The split campus is a terrible idea. It's an hour and half out to Temple, which is out in the middle of nowhere.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This was my first interview. All of them mostly followed suit with this one- no really probing questions. I could have been a lot more relaxed beforehand.

What are your general comments?

I had an interview with what seemed like one of the deans in College Station, and then an interview with Filo (great guy). Both were great. They were both very impressed with me. I didn't think my application was that impressive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
