How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application, read interview critiques on Student Doctor Forum website.

What impressed you positively?

The laid back atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer was a surgeon. I want to do primary care. We had distinct personalities and he was very quick to give his personal opinion on all topics. Seemed sort of snippy at first, but then I realized that is just his personality. We laughed and joked around too, so he really was a nice guy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The town doesn't have much to offer. Just a SuperWalmart and many chain fast food restaurants. But on campus, there is a lot to do and the school is awesome! There is a park 8 miles away where you can take free canoe lessons, camp, hike, etc. Take a little, give a little.

What are your general comments?

I had Dr. Jerry Smith and Dr. William Sexton. Both great. Dr. Sexton was my first interview for medical school, and when he found this out he gave me a pep talk about relaxing and being myself and I think he went pretty easy on me. We basically chatted and he told me about the school and his experiences.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
