read up on the school, reviewed some standard interview questions

What impressed you positively?

I had a very conversational interview with Dr. Frantz, and he was genuinely interested in me and very knowledgeable of my file. He is in love with Columbia, and with good reason. The first-years seem to make a very easy transition to medical school life.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Great place, laidback interview, great students. Interviews are scheduled to last 30 mins., but if you have Dr. Frantz, you are likely to go over that amount of time with some interesting conversation.
