What are your general comments?
I had my first inteview at 9am, after which I was given a tour of the neonatal intensive care unit and saw a baby born in the delivery room! Afterwards, I toured the anatomy room, met with the Dean to talk about the admissions process, and had lunch with first and second year students. Then, I had a tour of the medical school facilities, had my second interview, and was going home by 3pm. Overall, a really low stress experience, didn't get any hard ethical questions, and came out really wanting to go here!

How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read various bioethical forums
What was the most difficult question?
Is there anything not on the application that you would like us to know about you?
What impressed you positively?
They were VERY hospitable and EVERYONE was super friendly! The Dean meets with every student and gives a detailed breakdown of the admittance/rejection process. The facilities look pretty new and I really like that it's a Catholic school.
What impressed you negatively?
Seems like there are few clinical opportunities, the location is farther removed from the city, you would need a car to commute since the public transportation isn't too extensive there, and the student body isn't diverse, though, they're working on it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
