How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website, looked through my AMCAS and secondary essays because that's the ONLY part of your application the interviewers have in front of them.

What impressed you positively?

the friendliness and openess of all faculty and staff involved with the interview day. the technology of both the university and med center is outstanding.

What impressed you negatively?

absolutely nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, I felt prepared.

What are your general comments?

My best interview experience to date. They had a ''mom'' for the day (a spouse of a physician involved at Wake) that kept everyone on schedule and going to the right place. EVERYONE was very warm and friendly, not to mention helpful. It was a low-stress fun day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They have all been incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful to my questions!
