How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed AMCAS app, talked to others that interviewed there, did some research on healthcare/ethical issues.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was amazing, informative and organized orientation, anatomy lab is really nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The school's "Catholic tradition" makes for a quite Conservative atmosphere...for example, the tour guide said some of the affiliated Catholic hospitals often won't prescribe birth control.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing too unexpected.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was awesome to talk to...he was extremely laid-back and down to earth. He was obviously asking me questions but I honestly did not feel like I was being interviewed. It's important to know your AMCAS app very well because you will probably have to list them all of and explain them since the interview is closed-file. Also, you might be asked for chronology of your activites/experiences.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
