How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS and reviewed the ECU website, SDN (Tried to remember the MSAR and my secondary essay, they were stuck in N.O.)

What impressed you positively?

I really liked the comraderie shown between the students at ECU. They are a very diverse, yet small crowd, so you really get to know your classmates and everyone seems to get along really well. When we were started our tour everyone was coming out of anatomy, having fun with one other, joking around about the smell, it seemed like a nice relaxed atmoshpere (for med school!)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all. This was my second time there for an interview and I became more impressed with it this time around. The area may not be a bustling metropolis but thats ok with me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Second interview in as many years, and went there for a meeting with Dr. Peden this summer, I was pretty familiar with everything.

What are your general comments?

I thought it was a nice, easy going experience. I was interviewed by a faculty member and a fourth year student. Both were very laid back, but especially the one with the student, it was almost like talking to a friend.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
