How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interview (grilling style) with the GF, read the feedback of Erie interviews on sdn, read some medical mystery novels, 2 issues of Newsweek, shadowed a DO and surgeon, looked up ethical issues...

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere of the school, the faculty really care about their students and are willing to do almost anything to help them. They have high pass-rates on the boards, yet never said a thing to brag about it. Their learning pathways show how they will compromise with students. The dress code. Family-oriented city.

What impressed you negatively?

Opportunity, I guess? Erie isn't Philidelphia, so the clinical experience you assume isn't as great as it is in bigger cities. Poor coordination somewhat, since the PBL mock session was cancelled and some of the classrooms (ANATOMY) were locked during the school tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You need snow boots.
