How did you prepare for the interview?

studied essays--AMCAS and secondary, reviewed topics in health care and bioethics (thankfully), sdn, this site

What impressed you positively?

the new anschutz campus will be amazing. the cirriculum seemed streamlined and understandable compared to others that i've seen. interviewers really knew my application and asked questions relevant to my essays and experiences--gave me a chance to represent myself as well as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

i didn't like the large group (20-25 students). at other schools, it has been a group of 5-10 at the most. it made me much more nervous at first to be around so many applicants at the same time. also, there was a lot of waiting time because of this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i had heard that CU had a reputation of being laid back and having more 'conversational' interviews. i would've liked to know of some others whose interviews were not so relaxed... mine were not at all like this...

What are your general comments?

arrived in the morning with the large group of applicants, got briefed about their process and the school. 2 interviews in the morning, then lunch and tours of the old and new campus, including information about their new simulation center and virtual cadaver software which sounded great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
