How did you prepare for the interview?

i've had a bunch of interviews, those were enough prep.

What impressed you positively?

this is the most well-rounded school i have visited. the patient population is diverse, the research is top notch, the students are friendly, and the usmle scores are through the roof. i encourage you to apply to this school because it is awesome!

What impressed you negatively?

the only possible knock against this school you could have is that it is the location (ie in the midwest). this doesn't bother me, but to some it matters.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the school does a great job emailing you every detail of your interview day, so you know exactly what's going to happen and you can read up on your interviewers. thus, there were no surprises.

What are your general comments?

i loved this place and it seemed like everyone else i was there with loved it too
