What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was happy I knew about the PBL ahead of time, make sure you read up on PBLs, understand how cases are strutured, objectives, etc. The case isn't hard, but you need to be able to discuss it with other interviewees. Also, you will have to introduce yourself in the group session and discuss healthcare issues (hint: reread your secondary)
