How did you prepare for the interview?

Watched the news, sat down and thought through why I believe what I do in regards to ethical issues in medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Small class size, small and easy to navigate campus, decent area in a smaller city.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Cost! Also, due to small class size, they only really admit 96 kids a year, as the rest of the class is made up of BS/MD kids...doesn't really seem fair considering the number of people they interview. Odds aren't that great.

What are your general comments?

It was a pretty good interview day. This was my last interview out of 8 for the season, and the day was pretty well organized. Got there for the afternoon session, had an orientation talk, the four of us interviewees took a walking tour of the facilities, had some lunch, then directly after I had both interviews. I was done by 2:45, although I was the first person done in my group.
