How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked on SDN for interview questions and prepared answers to those questions using examples from my life, also reflected back on different situations from my life in general. Read the book "The Medical School Interview- Secrets and a System for Success" by Jeremiah Fleenor, which, while geared towards pre-med students, I also found very insightful and helpful.

What impressed you positively?

The friendly, concerned nature of the staff and interviewers.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers were dressed extremely casually making me feel ridiculously overdressed in my suit. Threw me off a little as I expected a formal interview.
