How did you prepare for the interview?
Read student doctor, my AMCAS, the school's web site
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were amazing. Faculty seemed very open and interested in the students.
What impressed you negatively?
The cost. If you are out of state it is rediculous and unlike other schools you cannot gain state residency unless you are in the state for 12 months not as a student. Also it seems like everyone applying there has some connection to the other applicants since most are from the state or go to school in the state, leaving us out state people wondering if we will feel isolated during medical school here as well.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They have a lot of abbreviations for buildings and things making it difficult to find your way to the building you need to be in without understanding their abbreviations.
What are your general comments?
I think the school seemed great, the structured interview was difficult because the interviewers are not allowed to react to anything you say, basically leaving you with the feeling you are rambling.
