How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the interview feedback and the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The students appeared to have a large amount of camaraderie. There are many opportunities for the third-year students to work at different hospitals and settings.

What impressed you negatively?

The hallways in the medical building were lined with refrigerators and filing cabinets, so size of the hallway was cut in half. The facilities were rather old as well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Getting to the Veteran's Hospital is very confusing if you don't have someone show you the way.

What are your general comments?

The day started off in the breezeway between the first and second year classrooms. For 30 minutes, interviewees and first year students milled about, waiting for the day to begin. Afterwards, Dr. Jones led us to a classroom where he gave an overview of the school. Next, there was a panel of fourth year students that answered questions and talked about their experience. Dr. Jones returned; he talked a little bit more about the school and how we were selected out of all the applicants, then we went to lunch. After lunch, I chose to go on the tour and we went around to various floors of the hospital. The interviews didn't start until 1:30pm, and we had a half hour between our interviews to find our way around the complex. I had interviews with a fourth-year medical student and a doctor.
