What impressed you positively?
Dr. Aguilerra made everyone feel totally at ease before interviews began. He told us about himself and why he came to Drew. Reminded us that we wouldn't be there if not qualified. Excellent tour by a 4th year med student whose going to be starting a neurosurgery residency!
What impressed you negatively?
The wait for the interview! It doesn't matter that your letter said it's scheduled for 9 am. You better get there at 8 am to sign in! You're interviewed roughly in order that you sign up!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
To wear more comfortable shoes! That tour nearly crippled me! To not be so nervous. The interview was more of a conversation
What are your general comments?
Arrived at 8:15 am, for a 9 am interview and there we already 13 people in front of me! The waiting area was very comfortable as we sat on nice couches. Gave introductions to everyone as to who we were and school came from. Met with the dean and chair of ER clerkship. The food was EXCELLENT do you understand me! We had an excellent tour guide of the medical center, outstanding trauma center. I interviewed with Dr. Miller, chief of radiology! He was very nice and knew my file well. Overall a good day but expect to stay till about 2!
