How did you prepare for the interview?

Read AMCAS, my secondary, SDN, and also mdapplicants.com to get an idea of my standing in the applicant pool.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities were gorgeous, especially the new lecture halls. Very nice. The people were pretty laid back, and seemed relatively honest.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers was a little bit hostile, but nothing terrible. Luckily she was NOT my committee representative. I think I hit it off with my committee guy, he even gave me a ride back to where I was staying after the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

In-State applicants who are invited to interview have roughly a 2/3 chance of getting accepted.

What are your general comments?

I had a good time, overall. The hospitals are nice, the people are very friendly, the education is top-tier, and the price is right.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
