How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about med ethics (didn't get asked anything about it though), read this site.

What impressed you positively?

The really really nice new campus!

What impressed you negatively?

The not-so-nice old campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was my first interview with anyone, and I was real real real nervous, and I wish I'd known there's no reason to be! The whole process is a lot less painful than you think, if you haven't had an interview yet. Don't worry about it!

What are your general comments?

Really pleasant. One interviewer was extremely nice, the other one was pretty good too. It was extremely easy-going, I felt comfortable the whole time after feeling sick to my stomach the whole previous day and that morning. The tour went a little long, but I was just so relieved with being done with my interviews that I didn't mind too much. Also, the new campus looks real nice, the old campus is not so impressive.
