How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied my file, student catalog, talked to the PNUHS students prior to my interview, read the first few chapters of Harrison's Internal Medicine (This is a great resource for medical school applicants- a wonderful amount of pertinent info. for interview background. I recommend this.

What impressed you positively?

Leanne sat with the students in the lounge/hall as we waited for our interviews. Also, there were many students who talked with us and answered questions about the school. Be prepared to talk with both candidates and students in the morning.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I wish that the staff/faculty would have addressed what I think are pertinent concerns regarding the issues any new school would face. I felt as though my questions might have a negative impact on my acceptance chances, as they were pretty direct. I felt that two of the three students who sat with us rather dodged these questions.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A student told me the interview was paramount to acceptance- probably the most important thing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The staff and faculty (including my two interviewers) were great. I had an awesome interview experience. My recommendation with respect to the interview is to truly be candid, thoughtful, and make those impersonal questions personal. That'll be helpful in standing out. I think that personality is important to this school- more than I have felt at the other schools I had interviewed at.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Admissions office notified students the following business day of acceptance. That's astounding.
