How did you prepare for the interview?

Having other interviews before this and going over the typical why medicine, and tell me about yourself questions as they pertained to me.

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer spent more time trying to sell me on the school. Also, everyone seemed really nice there even in the city, the shuttle driver, the hotel staff, everyone seemed to know interviews were going on.

What impressed you negatively?

That I came during fall break when all of the students were out of town. Also that due to my afternoon interview which was rescheduled at the last minute, I missed the Children's hospital tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

I just felt good being there. The way you feel at an interview is a personal thing. Your day will begin depending on when your interview is. And it will end depending on when your interview is as well. I got along very well with the other interviewees, we were cracking jokes while watching a lost episode on ABC.com it was very laid back!
