What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was told by an interviewer that my clinical experience was probably too weak to get in to OHSU (I have shadowed two docs, worked as hospital volunteer for 1.5 years, worked in clinical setting in latin america, and I speak spanish... which creates great connections with latino patients in the clinic.)

What are your general comments?

I came in thinking that OHSU and now I am no longer interested... and this is my state school.... but there are better options out there.
