How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Medical School Confidential. In-laws and friend assisted me by providing me with several mock interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The Campus. It does not look so great on the outside, but when you walk in, it's a different story. Everything is updated and renovated. The Anatomy lab is awesome, and the lecture halls are well laid out for the students with plenty of leg room, table space allows for laptops and note pads for each student. Library is pretty nice also.

What impressed you negatively?

You have to drive through the whole island to get to the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It was my first interview, and I wish I would have known to eat a decent size breakfast. I was nerves, but then was hungry soon after I arrived on campus, some growls from my stomach, luckily not during the interview.
