What are your general comments?
Overall, it was a fine experience. I would have liked a more personal interview day with an introduction meeting, financial aid presentation, meeting the dean, etc. Pretty much, the only faculty I met was my interviewer. The facilities are OK, the cafeteria and school itself are not spectacular, but do-able.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Have you been accepted anywhere else? (Yes, I have) Would you rather come to Wayne or go there?
What was the most interesting question?
I was asked a lot about my parents and my family and what they do.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read school's website, AAMC book
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were fine, and we were taken to the local hospitals to tour them (all connected by tunnels). Students seemed happy there and the tuition is pretty good for in-state students.My interviewer also cleared up misconceptions about the large class size (290).
What impressed you negatively?
I felt like the school was good, but I'm not sure if I would pick it other the other school I've been accepted to. It just seemed like people were there but not very excited about anything really. I was hoping to get financial aid information there, but you have to go back on a Saturday for a presentation.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The class size for 2006 is going to be 290 students. Also, even after the interview, your stats are still looked at (MCAT, GPA) rather than being graded by interview alone.
