✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the interview reviews on this site. Practiced in front a mirror although that probably wasn't necessary because the interview was so laid back.

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of everyone on the campus. Everyone walking by introduced themselves. All the current med students were willing to stop and talk to us interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

There is a lot of construction going on so the area wasn't the most pleasant to look at, but in the future it is going to look great with the new Walter Reed Army medical center. Just a cautionary not because the construction will likely going on for the next couple years at least I would imagine.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt pretty prepared.

What are your general comments?

I might be a little biased because I am fairly certain the military is right for me to begin with. Medicine and the military are just combining my two dreams. By the way the interview format is two 30 minute one-on-one interviews with either a fourth year student or a faculty member (usually at least one high ranking officer but they are not intimidating at all.)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
