How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the school website and read over my application.

What impressed you positively?

The students who gave the tour were pretty enthusiastic. The hospital facilities were also great.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school isn't the greatest and the Dean was not able to meet with applicants at the beginning of the day. The receptionist was somewhat rude.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The medical students conduct anatomy lab in the dental school and the clinical skills center is also in the dental school. A new medical school building will be opening in fall 2006.

What are your general comments?

My actual interview went pretty well - although I got a little lost trying to find it since it was in a hospital a few blocks away. It was laid back and the interviewer seemed genuinely interested.
