How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback and went over my AMCAS. I'd advise you to know your AMCAS well and know about issues related to things peripherally related to your essays and activities. i.e. if you mention your native country and the poverty there then be able to know the political issues that may be the root of those problems and be able to discuss it. They don't expect answers to be the world's solutions just to see that you can think quickly about the issues and that you are able to come up with an answer on the spot.

What impressed you positively?

Very enthusiastic. Liked the fact that the hospitals and everything was close by rather then on the other side of town. Also impressed with Stan the dummy

What impressed you negatively?

They couldn't give impression from the other side, so it seemed like they were overly positive for the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the students are very friendly and not as gunnerish as people portray them nor is this impression that all they want are people with extensive research necessarily true. I'd advise you to know your AMCAS well and know about issues related to things peripherally related to your essays and activities. i.e. if you mention your native country and the poverty there then be able to know the political issues that may be the root of those problems and be able to discuss it.
