Where did the interview take place?
At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
I didn't.
What impressed you positively?
The clinics are really new and nicer than I expected, the little med student "families" or whatever they call them seem nice
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the interviewees were really nice and friendly, but about half of them were just talking to their friend from their hometown in Iowa. I have a feeling the school might be sort of clickish in that sense. (I'm out of state)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The lunch isn't that great, so I would have eaten more breakfast. No way for out of state students to get in state tuition. Scholarship money seemed less than adequate.
What are your general comments?
Overall I liked the school, but it didn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling that I need to justify going out of state. I withdrew a few days after the interview due to an acceptance at a top 15 school.
