How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my AMCAS, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Admissions and faculty were incredibly nice and helpful, students were enthusiastic and seemed very capable of balancing the rigors of medical school with that of a normal, sociable life

What impressed you negatively?

the area directly surrounding the school is a black hole for fun, the facilities are aging and not pleasing to the eye, I'm not a fan of the systems-based curriculum

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not much, really.

What are your general comments?

I was one of the (unlucky or lucky, depending how you look at it) few that received only one interview on my day. The majority of the interview was spent discussing healthcare and ethical issues, but the calming manner of my interviewer put me completely at ease, and probably allowed me to answer each question to the best of my abilities. The environment of AMC is rather gloomy and depressing during the colder months, but the cheerfulness of the administration and students really help to enhance the college.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
