At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read up on the Oregon Health Plan and Death with Dignity Act. I also gathered as much info as I could on OHSU but their website is pretty bad.
What impressed you positively?
The students just loved it so much. I really liked the curriculum. They have early clinical exposure that goes on through the first two years. The location is gorgeous and I really liked Portland. It's a great school.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
What are your general comments?
My second interview was a little strange. It was very thorough -- we covered all the basic questions. But he kept making comments about what I would do if I didn't get in, making sure I had applied to other schools, etc. I really hope that he just says that to everyone but it was a little disheartening.
