How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, read over Wake curriculum, had previously read some sample questions (many of the standard questions were asked).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The day was relaxed with only 6 interviewees present. The interviewers were friendly and nonintimidating. The students who talked to us seemed happy. The student facilities are high tech and we got to see the anatomy lab and cadaver dissections on the tour.

What impressed you negatively?

The food in the cafeteria wasn't that good. The hostess from the medical guild was a little inappropriate (reminded me of my opinionated grandmother). The buildings were old and dingy on the surface although the teaching technology was up to date.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not much surprising. It's a bit difficult to navigate to the admissions office.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was a pleasant and relatively short interview day. There was a very brief curriculum and financial aid presentation. We spent a lot of time sitting around in the morning talking to the hostess. Two 2nd year students took us to lunch. The food wasn't great, but the discussion of Wake was. We had three 15 minute interviews. They were very short, but I liked it that way. Two other students took us on the tour. We mostly only saw the basic science areas, none of the clinical, but the school of medicine is right within the hospital.
