How did you prepare for the interview?

Watched DVD, read brochure, reviewed specific programs on website (ex. CECS), skimmed over interviewers' resumes (made available in the admissions office waiting room).

What impressed you positively?

Organization and execution of overall interview day. Director of admissions kicked off the morning with an impressive overview of the school and MD program (including having all candidates introduce themselves).

What impressed you negatively?

30 minutes interviews seemed too short, didn't feel I was able to distinguish myself without making it look overly agressive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Understanding what the "comprehensive" refers to in new comprehensive cancer center at DHMC.

What are your general comments?

Best interview process of any school I visited. A lot of thought went into organizing the day. Left with a feeling that DMS program is very complete and addresses all the needs of today's med school student.
