How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read a book on the medical school interview process and used it as a base for organizing my thoughts, goals, ambitions, motivations, etc... I typed all of these things out so that I would have a reference list that highlighted my best and worst attributes. I then asked myself questions from numerous sources and would answer them outloud while keeping what was on my list in mind. I recommend making such a list because it gets you organized and allows you to stay consistent with your answers.

What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?
