What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews for some people are spread out among the school and the various hospitals (although if you don't have a car that day they will be nice and provide transportation or arrange all of your interviews on campus), some of the lecture halls are old, the torrential downpour, some (but not all) of the students seem to resent UAB and its med students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Mobile has little to very little drainage. Water tends to accumulate everywhere quickly.

What are your general comments?

The interview day is very stressfree, the most stressful time is the preinterview portion, once the interviews start the day is relaxing. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes for the tour of the hospital and check the weather the days before you interview.
