What are your general comments?
I arrived early and sat in on a first year lecture. I had a 1.5 hour long interview where the interviewer told me a good deal about the school. Then I joined two other interviewees and 4 medical students who took us on a tour of the library, gym, first-year lecture hall, and one of their on-campus apartments before taking us to lunch at the cafeteria. I walked around a bit on my own to get a feel for the area, and then went home.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
My interviewer mostly kept asking me "Do you have any questions for me?" and "What do you want to talk about?" So be prepared to ask questions--your interviewer is a good resource to find out about the health care profession.
What was the most interesting question?
If you were on the admissions committee, are there any physical or mental disabilities that you think would automatically disqualify an applicant?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, school website, prepared answers to common questions
What impressed you positively?
Students very friendly and enthusiastic. Seems to have a very uncompetitive, relaxed atmosphere while still being academically intense.
What impressed you negatively?
Location feels a bit isolated--I wasn't concerned about safety so much as there not being much to do in the immediate area.
