Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The area the school sits in is nice. The school used to be a big party school, it's toned down some, but you still get the vibe that the students play a lot. Really emphasize clinical skills.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

People were friendly, but kinda got the feeling of some underlying racial tension (i might be imagining it) and i didn't get to talk to any minority students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the indian food the night before would make me shit so much, right up till 20 minutes before my interview. tasted good the night before though.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Started off the day by bringing in a standardized patient. They didn't really try to sell the school to you, emphasized a lot on student life. I had a gruff looking doc who I later found out was a flight surgeon. I was pretty nervous for the first few minutes, but after I made the doc chuckle a little, I knew I was golden. Student interviewer was a quiet girl who didn't know my friend and so took away my trump card. All in all, I came out happier than I went in.
