How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the website, read SDN, read over Loyola's magazine, and did several mock interviews.

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by how students, faculty, and staff at Loyola embody the school's philosophy of nurturing the whole person. I loved the athletic facilities..talk about first-class!

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school is not the best, but many students reverse commute from Chicago and say it's not too bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviews were back-to-back, which was actually a relief.

What are your general comments?

Both of my interviewers were curious about me and my path to medical school. It felt less like an interview and more like an intellectual conversation with a colleague about what's currently going on medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
