How did you prepare for the interview?

reading SDN

What impressed you positively?

everything is new

What impressed you negatively?

The appearance of the school reminded me of a cheesy strip mall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

DO NOT DISCUSS MD SCHOOLS! I was rejected with a 30+ MCAT, 3.8 Science GPA. I am pretty sure it was because I discussed my interview at a MD school within earshot of the admissions staff. Touchy touchy!

What are your general comments?

I thought the interview went well but I was surprised that so much of it was dedicated to the military, which was half my life ago, and not what I had done in the last 3-5 years

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
