How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

My first interviewer's kind demeanor

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That ethics questions would be a major part of the interview

What are your general comments?

My first interview was a very nice experience. The second one was not difficult but very long (one hour 45 minutes). He was a nice guy but he went way over time, asked tons of ethics questions to which I had pretty much the same answer for all. I missed the tour because the interviewer took so long, and most importantly, lunch with the medical students which is when one gets to ask the most important questions and the most insight about a school. I was excited about this school before but not so much anymore.
