How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to med students, SDN, read about the school, read about healthcare issue

What impressed you positively?

Nice campus, students, the case based learning was way better than I thought it would be. The med students leading it were really fun and gave us some really great insight into opportunities abroad during med school.

What impressed you negatively?

weather

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was really nervous about cbl for some reason (because i had no idea what to expect), but it was really laid back.

What are your general comments?

Good school and lots of opportunities to get involved with research, global health, and pretty much anything else without it totally consuming your life. Iowa City is a really cool town, despite what most people think of when they think of Iowa.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
