What type of interview was it?

Closed file

Where did the interview take place?

At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS application, read Wake's brochure, and used this site

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are REALLY nice and every student gets their own laptop to use because the school is pretty computerized.

What impressed you negatively?

Well the school is very expensive and also there seems to be a heavy religious influence even though students claim that it doesn't really permeate the academic environment.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

There are three 20 minute interviews. It sounds really stressful, but it's really not. Just make sure to get points across about yourself if you want to because once the hostess knocks on the door it is time for you to rotate to the next interviewer. All the interviews were very conversational and the interviewers only look at your personal statement from the AMCAS application so make sure you know it well because most of the things that end up being discussed come from that.
