At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read school website, brushed up on health care issues and current events, reviewed AMCAS and secondary applications, read feedback on this site
What impressed you positively?
Beautiful facilities. Brand new library. Glass ceiling covers much of the hospital complex, letting lots of light in! Faculty seem very laid back and caring about their students.
What impressed you negatively?
The surrounding area. I got the impression a lot of students commute from suburbs of Baltimore. Also, many of the students seemed to choose Maryland either for money-saving purposes or because they didn't get into a school higher on their list.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing. This site prepared me well. I was expecting to have to walk farther to get to my interviews, but the campus was a lot smaller than a lot of people who posted feedback made it seem.
What are your general comments?
This was my first interview, which I'm thankful for because it was so laid back. I was impressed by the recent renovations on basically the entire campus except for the building where lectures are held. The students seemed very happy, and were very honest about their feelings about the school. The interviewers were enthusiastic, well-prepared, and genuinely interested in getting to know me. They made me feel at ease. It was a great place to have my first interview in terms of boosting my confidence.
