How did you prepare for the interview?

Printed off my AMCAS application and all of my secondary materials & interview questionnaire and reviewed them all. Spoke with friends attending the school / family members in the military.

What impressed you positively?

I love the D.C. area. The school is only a 10 minute subway-ride from all the national monuments. Plenty of fun stuff to do in the area. As for the school, I was impressed most by the attitude of the students there: new and old alike. They were up-beat, friendly, yet serious about their schooling. The admin & staff I met were also very upbeat. The medical school consists of several connected buildings with a huge cadaver lab on-campus. And you can't really beat the learning opportunities from case exposure offered by the military.

What impressed you negatively?

The temperature dropped from mid 60's to mid 30's the week I visited. But that had nothing to do with the school. N / A

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Should have brought a coat. (Nothing much. I came prepared, knowing my transportation routes. It was a good experience all-around)
