How young my faculty interviewer was.

Well, I interviewed in Vegas so I didn't see the school. I love the people who work for UMC though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I interviwed here before and knew what to expect. It's a tough interview for me, because it's not really conversational. They really grill you and you must know the answers to the questions. Be prepared to constantly have follow-up questions to your answers, especially the ''why medicine?'' question.
