One of my interviewers clearly had not read over my file, but all of the other faculty and staff were extremely helpful and nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The day starts really early, and the interview group is big (like 40 or 50 ppl). Everyone is ushered up to a room where there is a continental breakfast and a couple brief overview presentations. Then the group is split in half, with one group going to interview and the other getting technology and fin aid presentations. Then the groups switch. The 3 interviews are one-on-one and back to back. Interviews were extremely conversational- know your AMCAS app forward and backward. Then we had lunch with M1s and M2s before having our student-led tour. The day ended early :-)
