How did you prepare for the interview?

My previous interviews.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

For such a cold, snowy area the students seem very happy (although it hasn't gotten that cold yet). The facilities were in good condition, including the anatomy lab. The fact that it shares a location with the undergraduate school is a huge plus.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

When asked what other schools they considered, all of the current students said something like, "well, my MCAT scores and grades weren't great so I didn't have many other options." I felt like I was at a fallback school - a place that no one picked above another school, but rather went to because of lack of other options.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how laid back and comfortable this day would be.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interviews were very laid back. Most people interview with an MD and a student. The school emphasizes that these interviews won't be "challenge" interviews. The day was spaced nicely and there were opportunities to explore the undergrad campus, town, sit in on classes, etc.
