How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

The number and quality of experiences available at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything else. Traffic was horrid (ALL students admitted to skipping class because of it), the school is in shambles (wiring is exposed and the facilities are minimally functional at best), my interviewer made a telephone call during the interview after receiving a page, overall profesionalism does not start here until year 3.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It will take you 2 hours to drive less than 30 miles on weekdays. I could have biked there faster.

What are your general comments?

The staff were pleasant and warming when we arrived. And we were shuffled off to a room where a small schpiel about the school is given. Then another about research. Some canidates are interviewed while others go on the tour. The students seem enthusiastic about their third and fourth years and eager to leave. My interviewer hadn't read my file very well as he thought I lived in a rural town and I don't. Then late into the interview he received a page and told me to come up with the answer to a question while he made a call. When I returned everyone had left and the process was over.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
