How did you prepare for the interview?

read interview feedback, reread AMCAS and secondary essays, talked to medical students

What impressed you positively?

The financial aid presentation was about 10 minutes long. Glorious. Plus the library is beautiful.

What impressed you negatively?

There was an exam so we couldn't see the anatomy lab or the lecture hall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There isn't enough room in the admissions building to hold interviews, so they send you off with a map to find your interviewers!

What are your general comments?

Luckily, I had interviews at 9 and 10 AM, which meant I was done after the tour (by 2 PM). Once I found them, the interviews went quickly--plus my first interviewer walked me to my second. Back at the admissions office, we had a financial aid mini-presentation, followed by a talk by Dr. Foxwell--incredibly chill and funny! Lunch with students and a tour to finish up the day. All in all, pretty painless.
