How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, mock interview, read applications, read a book on applying to medical school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was extremely nice and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The campus was really state of the art.

What impressed you negatively?

The length of the visit. There was too much down time between people speaking with us. We were there for 7 hours for a 20 minute interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I pretty much knew everything since I read SDN. It was all pretty much the same thing.

What are your general comments?

All the questions were really basic and fairly easy to answer, since I had already anticipated all of them. Therefore the stress level was not very high. The interviewers were extremely nice and were smiling the whole time and very talkative, which really put me at ease.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
