What impressed you positively?
The staff and students were open and honest. They didn't paint the medical education rose colored but rather they talked about sacrifice and difficulty. Also, the students seemed really supportive. The school is expanding. My interviewer was a pediatrician and he was awesome!
What impressed you negatively?
All of the MBAs and JDs that are on staff. The school really is run by businessmen and lawyers (maybe that's why it is doing so well financially).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interview was sooo laid back. The dude had a veggie tails tie on!
What are your general comments?
My interview was great. I had a lot of fun the entire day. The interview itself was VERY short and informal. No ethical questions at all. The interviewer was a pediatrician and was the most laid back doc I have ever met. It felt as if they should be getting more info out of me, but they didn't ask that many questions. I will say this though, that was luck of the draw. Some of the others in my interview group got different interviewers and got asked ethical questions and was very formal for them. Not me though :)
