What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All relevant information is online regarding the program and Winston-Salem. - So nothing.

What are your general comments?

It seemed the 3 interviwers may have had different tasks... One interviewer barely touched on any medical school questions, in fact, it just seemed as if he was assessing behavioral aspects to a semi-stressful situation. It was a little odd, but relevant. None of the interviews were confrontational, but some of the interviewers may &quot;dig&quot; a bit for answers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
