studentdoctor.net, mock interviews at school, worked through typical questions in the Kaplan workbook, talked with physicians, talked with current students there that I knew, researched the schools website and literature

The atmosphere and people were very warm and friendly. Interviews were very laid back-basically a conversation.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Excellent experience. Interviews were great. I thought that the school's facilities were very nice, but its definately a small school with small classes, so it's not for everyone. Inevitably you will talk about rural and family medicine.
