How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website and my application.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very enthusiastic and wanted the interviewees to feel comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

It was super long and there was no food.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Students do a lot of community work and the school was created to train primary care physicians. They just built a new clinical skills center and the students pretty much run their own clinic in the hospital.

What are your general comments?

It was pretty positive. There were not many minority students in my interview group but the minority affairs office made sure to answer any of my questions and make me feel welcome. My first interviewer was pretty &quot;neutral.&quot; She didn't seem very enthusiastic. The second interviewer was very laid back and was truly interested in learning about me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
