Reviewed my AMCAS and secondary app. Talked to current UAB med students about their interview experience.
What impressed you positively?
Extremely well organized. Student tour guides seemed to genuinely love their medical school experience. The newly renovated Volker Hall (where most 1st & 2nd year classes are held) is beautiful. Laid-back, conversational interviews.
What impressed you negatively?
The tour seemed slightly disorganized, but this was not the fault of the guides.
What are your general comments?
8:00 - 9:00 - Introduction / Schedule Outline / Short movie
9:00/9:30/10:00/10:30/11:00 - Staggered 25 min. interviews w/ 3 members of Admissions Committee
12:00 - 12:30 - Lunch
12:30 - ~1:45 - Tour
Interviewers were not intimidating. They seemed to really want to get to know you. No pressure tactics were used.
