How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, a mock interview with a former member of the admissions committee, talked to current students.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers and the admissions staff in general were incredibly friendly and accomodating. I thought it was a nice touch that we came back and had a catered lunch with the dean and the director of admissions in the conference room rather than being ushered off to the cafeteria.

What impressed you negatively?

There weren't vegetarian options at lunch. It was a southern meal all the way around--country fried steak, collard greens, mashed potatoes and gravy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lunch happens after the tour. I wish I had known to bring snacks so I wouldn't have been in the cadaver lab with an empty stomach!

What are your general comments?

We arrived at 8:30, and some of the staff met with us one on one to make sure that our files were complete. Then we had the usual schpiel from the director of admissions (not the dean)which thankfully did not mention anything about financial aid or any of the negative aspects of med school that we are all already quite aware of. Then we had one morning interview at either 10 or 11. The tour started at 12, and was mainly focused on the children's hospital, then a brief stop on campus--be prepared to see a cadaver! Also, bring or wear comfortable shoes! Lunch was at 1 in the conference room with the tour guides(two second year students), the dean of admissions, and the director of admissions. The dean, who made his first appearance at lunch, will ask if you have any questions. Have questions! Afternoon interviews were at 2 or 3, then the day is over.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
