Where did the interview take place?

At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

UC's website, this website, medical ethics websites.

What impressed you positively?

The atmosphere was very non-threatening - trying to sell us on the positive aspects of the school. I never felt like I had to sell them on why I should be admitted to their school. They have a HUGE amount of faculty - if someone doesn't want to teach/can't teach, they are replaced by someone who does/can.

What impressed you negatively?

The construction - although it will be great when its done. The financial aid talk was pretty worthless.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Get there early - it took a long time to find a spot in the parking garage, and it's a decent walk from the garage to the admissions office. If you're way early, you can take the advantage of the extra time to chat with med students that are passing by.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was very friendly. Many students in the halls greeted us and wished us luck. My interviewer really didn't really ask any tough questions. I almost felt like he had made his decision on me prior to even interviewing me. He answered any questions I had in MUCH more detail than I really needed.
