How did you prepare for the interview?

I read through the possible questions posted on SDN and met with previous applicants.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone from the faculty to the students and staff were amazingly friendly and seemed to genuinely care about the people interviewing. The school just recieved a $30 million donation and the facilities are being completely updated and revamped; it is an exciting time and the medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The school is amazing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you go into a dual degree masters program (MD/MPH or MD/MBA) the school will pay for the tuition of the masters degree and if you go into the MD/PhD program they will pay for all of the tuition for both degrees.

What are your general comments?

The interview were wonderful. A word of warning, I was applying as a sophomore to the Early Assurance Program ran by the school for Wright State student to be awarded early conditional acceptance into the school. That being said, everything went exactly as it would have had I been applying during my junior/senior year so my experience should be comparable. There were two one hour interviews that were more conversational than anything. There were few is any of the generic interview questions. Both interviews were completely laid back and enjoyable and the one hour time flew by. The key is to go in there and be yourself and be honest.
