How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed essays I had written, AMCAS, and school's website.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I met was very friendly. Stayed with a med student instead of the typical hotel... very happy with this decision. Beautiful area with rolling hills and fall colors. New construction and a lot of excitement about future additions to school.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot of traffic due to homecoming weekend. Other than that, everything was great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers want to know about you. Nothing to be nervous about, just be yourself!

What are your general comments?

All four of us waited in a small room to be interviewed. One by one we were escorted to another room where we were interviewed by two individuals (professor and physician). Though nervous, the interviewers quickly made me feel comfortable with their friendly attitudes and smiles. The interview flowed freely as they took turns asking me questions. They (as I had heard from other feedback) really seemed to have studied my file. The 30 minutes went by very fast.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
