How did you prepare for the interview?

Read these reviews.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are all brand-new, beautiful buildings.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital is poorly designed. Its like a maze.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That EVERYONE wears dark suits...try to switch it up.

What are your general comments?

The woman (a professor emeritus of cytogenetics) brought up that my dad is a doctor, so that got us up and running...after that is was just a normal conversation about healthcare, stupid chemists, bad HMOs and underpaid nurses. The 2nd interview in teh small groups was really not an interview at all, but more of a Q&amp;A session - try to sound curious about volunteer opportunities.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
