What impressed you positively?
The enthusiasm of the faculty and staff and the emphasis on clinical skills in the first two years.
What impressed you negatively?
It seemed like a lot of students had connections at the school and emphasis was placed on family backgrounds. I do not like answering questions about my family and I don't like feeling like I am at a disadvantage because my parents are not doctors and/or golf buddies with half the faculty.
What are your general comments?
One interview was well over an hour and one was shorter. Both of them were very informative and interesting conversations. The tone could change quickly though. A relatively intense question could follow some random chatting or vice versa.
