How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interview, SDN, read the paper, write out qualities about myself (strengths and one weakness, etc.)

What impressed you positively?

the amount of hospitals in the VERY near vicinity. The diverse amounts of rare cases you'll see during your rotations.

What impressed you negatively?

The GED where you spend your first two years in classes is kinda ugly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that my first interviewer would be so concerned about ethical issues.

What are your general comments?

Altogether a great day. Mr. Strother and Mrs. Harris are the two nicest people I've met in my interviews thus far. Med students seemed really happy there. My first interviewer seemed to be a bit hard on me (you don't know what GFR is??? its the glomerular filtration rate! --oh yeah, I knew that), but still nice to talk to. Second interviewer was really nice and laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Everyone's interview should be around the same time, to make it a bit more organized
