How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, MCW.edu.

What impressed you positively?

Huge complex, (kind of)new building. Organized interview day. Mike Istwan is a good guy...

What impressed you negatively?

HUGE interview group (50+). All M-1 classes are in the same lecture hall. Student who interviewed me was like 30 and seemed disconnected from the world.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How big the group was going to be...alittle intimidating. Also, its is VERY diverse.

What are your general comments?

The day went well, it is really organized. Normally everyone has 2 interviews, but I was asked to do a third at the end of the day. First interviewer was a PHD in anethesiology with a thick german accent and seemed to not really care about what I had to say. Last two interviews (M3 and Internist) were better as they at least gave some feedback. I was dissapointed that we didnt get to see the hospitals at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
