How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare. A word of warning, the interviews are speeded, and they will cut you off if you go a second over, so if you have something to say, make sure you say it before time runs out (they give you a 1-minute warning).

What impressed you negatively?

Every student I met seemed apathetic at best, unhappy at worst. Almost everyone I talked to said they were only there because it was the only school they got into. I felt like I was missing something. The school looked so amazing, I thought for sure I wanted to go there during the interview day, but I felt like I was missing something huge that was the reason why nobody wanted to be there. I don't know what it was, but it was kind of eerie. Like there's some ugly secret that no one talks about.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wish I had gotten detailed directions better than mapquest. Luckily I left an hour early and still made it on time (I flew into Richmond, VA and drove). Also, it was difficult to find the admissions office inside the medical complex.

What are your general comments?

I loved this school and location. I really wanted to go here. However, the students and interviewers creeped me out big time. All three interviewers were different. The first was straightforward and blunt, very military-like and proper, yes, no, thank you sir. Easy to talk to if you can speak confidently. The second interviewer was nice and comforting, very motherly. You could say anything and she would smile and nod approvingly. The third interviewer was angry, hostile, and bitter, and used profanity to express disapproval. It seems like the interviewers were chosen purposely to see how the candidates responded to different forms of inquiry.
