What impressed you negatively?

Across the board, some of the most self-absorbed faculty and students I have met in this process. My interviews were ok, but in my opinion, interviewers seemed ill-prepared and uninterested. As I answered questions for my first interviewer (Devin Gattey) he looked through my AMCAS looking for additional questions the entire time, he interrupted my answers questions to ask additional questions that were completely off topic. I doubt he listened to a single response. My second interviewer alluded to the fact that I didn't have a lot of clinical experience. But shortly after I found a FT clinical job and additional shadowing opportunities and sent in an update letter. I figured that since there was still 1-2 months of evaluating students, that this should be taken into consideration, but the admissions staff said it was too late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This school has a serious identity conflict... are they public or private? The future of this school is very uncertain (in terms of sources of funding and I wouldn't be surprised at all if tuition goes through even more major hikes)Also, this process gives tremendous advantage to students that interview late.... the admissions office will claim that this is not true, but please, if you interviewed in April 2006 everything you did up until then will be considered if you interviewed in October 2005 you'll be seen (by the AdCom) as having 6-7 months less experience.

What are your general comments?

This school makes me embarassed to be an Oregonian. Maybe the state will just cut the umbilical cord one of these days and just make OHSU stand on their own two feet.
