What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the faculty and students, how one of the medical students was even giving out advice for applying to another school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

8 ppl to a cadaver, not a lot of study space (the library was small and there was only one main computer lab with 70 computers and another smaller one with ~20). The buildings looked old. My view might be biased since I'm from a school of 40,000.

What are your general comments?

had two interviewers. The first was a substitute interviewer so he didn't really know my file. He seemed to be testing me on whether I was truthful. First he asked where my school was and its location in relation to Hershey medical center in PA. When I told him, he said: "Oh right, I knew where Hershey was.". Then when he asked about my research, I mentioned using PDMS. He asked what it stood for. When I told him, he said: "oh yea, they use that a lot.", as if he knew it all along. He really hamered me about why I wanted to be a doctor. He said I didn't have clinical experience, so how do I know I want to be a doctor. In reality, I did have a lot of clinical experience but he said those aren't similar to real situations... the second interview went much better and was much more conversational. I ended up on the waiting list.
