✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to friends who are current MS1s at the school, read my AMCAS, looked at the website, read "The Medical School Interview" and filled out the interview inventory it suggests, interview practice sessions, and a meeting with an interview coach.

What impressed you positively?

New student mods, current construction on the patient simulators, expanded clinical experiences in the first year, helpful and encouraging student ambassadors and a great admissions staff.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are three interview times: 9, 10, and 11. Don't arrive all amped or nervous to interview at 9 because you may find yourself waiting until 11.

What are your general comments?

I liked the half closed half open file interview format. I think it gives the interviewers a good chance to evaluate an applicant's interpersonal skills, motivations for the profession, etc. before seeing their numbers. I liked the chance to leave the room and evaluate how my interview was going. I had the chance to think about things that I wanted to bring up in the remaining time (which they asked).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
