How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net, mock interviews, attending a panel presentation of pre-health interviewers, researching ethics and current medical events, researching the UCDHSC SOM website.

What impressed you positively?

The new campus - wow! Everything is so state-of-the-art and beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything was a little disorganized because we were the first group that they had interviewed for the year and it was the first time students had been interviewed at the new campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A lot of the questions from one of my interviewers were about Native Americans because the interviewer had worked with Native Americans for much of her life. So I suppose wish I had known more about Native American issues.

What are your general comments?

It was definitely a positive experience but it left me still unsure if I had done the best job I could have.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
