How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, personal statement, obamas opinion papers on healthcare reform.

What impressed you positively?

hospital facilities and standardized patients are very nice. the students were all super friendly. lots of volunteer activities and student life stuff. my interviewers were definitely tough, but fair. I think they just wanted to see what I was really made of and if I would flake under pressure.

What impressed you negatively?

everything was about as i expected.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

park on the street on fairfax drive if you can. parking is free there and it's right across the street from where the interviews are held.

What are your general comments?

get your hand up first to work with the standardized patient during the presentation. it is a fun experience and gives you something to break the ice with in your interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
