How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read AMCAS app (bc they ask you qpecific questions about it), wrote out answers to possible questions and read them over

What impressed you positively?

I got lucky with the two most easy-to-talk-to doctors; they were so nice and relaxed and made me feel really comfortable. Dr. Kennedy was also very warm and kind; not uptight like I had heard. I really liked him a lot.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing; eveyrthing was great!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to be so stressed out! I was really nervous as in sick to my stomach nervous, but they really do everything they can to make you relax- they have the lunch with students before the interviews to get you loosened up. Be confident! Be yourself- they don't want to hear how you think they want you to be- they want to know who you are!

What are your general comments?

I had a great interview experience!It was fun getting to know others that were going through it with me; the med students were so nice and enthusiastic about the school; Mrs. Hatcher's (secretary) the sweetest person in the world; Dr. Kennedy is really sweet and sincere; If you had an emotional experience that affected your grades/scores mention it, bc Dr. Kennedy is compassionate and appreciates hearing that kind of stuff. He actually told me that I wasn't going to get in this cut, but would get on the waiting list and would probably get in later in the year. Thursday after the committee met he called me, and I missed it since I was at work, so I got in touch with him the next day, and he said they were enthusiastic about my interview and application and wanted to offer me a spot!!! Best Christmas present ever! Really nice of him to call!
