How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS application and the school's facilities and program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities here are amazing. Very high tech - you will feel like you are on the cutting edge of medicine.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers was quite aloof. I was left with the impression that he didn't like me, or was perhaps making fun of me. It was very unusual - I'm normally very comfortable and get along with my interviewers immediately. However, I just found out that I was accepted, so it just goes to show you that you can't always tell how you did based on your perception of the interviewer.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Classes are from 8am-5pm everyday. Some female students do not feel comfortable riding the METRO at night.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

So so. My student interviewer was very casual and easy going. My faculty interviewer was somewhat abrasive and aloof. The tour was lovely, but I wish that they would show more of the hospital facilities.
