How did you prepare for the interview?

read over this website. most of the questions i was asked were mentioned here before

What impressed you positively?

Students were very relaxed and easy going. I was surprised that they didn't seem stressed at all. Unlike the kids in my undergrad! They stressed the importance and the difficulties of a good biomedical education during the first 2 years. They did stress that they encourage research. I liked that they were really upfront about these things and didn't give a sales pitch.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The neighborhood really isn't that bad. I'm a New Yorker and I know the ghetto when I see it. This is NOT a Ghetto! Although some kids from Cali freaked out because they thought everyone is out to kill them. I've seen neighborhoods much worst than this one and this one doesn't even scare a coward like me.

What are your general comments?

It was nice and short. I don't know if I did good or not but it only lasted 10 minutes. Got my fingers crossed

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
