How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, mock interview, talking with friends who had interviewed at this school in the past.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers are great...it was not nearly as stressful as I anticipated. They were nice and genuine. They were also encouraging but honest. Also, the secretaries in the front office are great. They make you feel at ease before the interviewing process begins.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities need some work, but there is an entire new wing to the hospital that is very nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not be intimidated of Dean Case. He interviews everyone, and I was most uptight with him. You just have to go in confident and yourself.

What are your general comments?

Overall, this was a very good experience. I was impressed with the people and think I would like going to med school here. The day was actually more fun than it was stressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
