How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my 5th interview, so I just read the website and went over primaries and secondaries

What impressed you positively?

The great training you will get as a med student in Memphis. Also, all exams are computerized and can be taken at home using an honor code.

What impressed you negatively?

All the construction and destruction.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You should try to schmooze with the admissions staff as they are in the committee meeting too!

What are your general comments?

This was my most challenging interview, but also the one in which I performed the best. The interviews are divided into an "academic review" interview and a "personal" interview. Both interviewers represent you to the committee, so you need to impress both of them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
