How did you prepare for the interview?

Website, talked with friends who were current students.

What impressed you positively?

The school seemed to focus a great deal on patient contact early in medical education. They say that their students are well prepared to go into their residencies. Also, the students and staff were wonderful. One even walked the extra 1/4 mile out to my car to make sure I could figure out how to get home. =-)

What impressed you negatively?

Neither of my interviwers seemed to be very happy with the actual interview process. One was a med student who showed up in jeans and flip-flops. The other didn't like the closed-file process. Some interviews were conducted outside on the benches.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Mr. Larkin, the admissions director, is EXTREMELY nice and approachable. You can ask him any questions and he won't hold it against you.
