How did you prepare for the interview?

Read questions from this site, reviewed my app, did practice interview at career center. If you go to PSU, get the list of questions from Karen Hanson. My interviewer had the exact list in front of her and only added one spontaneous question.

What impressed you positively?

I am impressed with the comradery between the students and staff, especially in clinic.

What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was an essay before the interview.

What are your general comments?

I was on the third day of interviews and was with just one other applicant. Mark Mitchell did a brief introduction of the school, then took us for a tour. I interviewed with a researcher at the school in her office. It was pretty casual. After the interview we were given the choice of observing in clinic or in oral surgery. A student was assigned to take me to lunch, then I attended a pedo lecture with him. The entire day was 9-2.
