What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Asked a lot about the experiences on my AMCAS application.
Tell me what it means to be professional?
Why MCW? When medicine? Why did you wait a year?

What was the most interesting question?

Imagine you are a physician and you came upon an accident. There were two cars, each with a person in critical condition. Whatever person you help will live, the other will die. It is clear that one person was intoxicated. Which person do you help and what are some of your thoughts about the situation? Then repeated the questions involving one 30 year old father and one 90 year old.

What was the most difficult question?

None really.

What impressed you positively?

A lot of things! The relationships that the students have with each other and their faculty. The fact that the children's hospital is so close with so many opportunities to shadow and everything was a huge plus for me because i might be interested in pediatrics of some kind. Milwaukee is also a very cool city with a lot going on.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish i would have known that Milwaukee was such a cool place...i would have stayed another night to check it out more.

What are your general comments?

I loved this school! I had my best interviewing experience yet and I felt more comfortable here than any other place that i have been. I went the night before to stay with a host student. We had dinner and got a chance to ask a studnet panel questions and then we were matched with our hosts. Mine was really nice and helpful. We went out to a local bar and hung out with some other hosts and applicants. The next day my host drove me the college for my interview. We had orientation, then half the group went a tour and the rest of us went and had our two interviews. Then we had a tour and we left. My interviews were very laid back, but complete. I really enjoyed the whole experience.
