One interviewer went off the rails and asked me an essay prompt question "what kind of physician do you see yourself becoming?"
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN questions in my pocket, memorized my strength answers and my leadership quality answers and basically spent alot of time talking to myself on my 9 hour drive and in the hotel room. Got 7 good hours of sleep.
What impressed you positively?
Very professional atmosphere (almost to a fault actually).
The PBL/ Masters/ PostBacc bayfront campus. Beautiful. Seek it out. Not on the official tour.
What impressed you negatively?
Lack of input from current PBL students. Also, no ISP or PCSP students of whom to ask questions. I had to seek this out on my own.
East side Erie, oh so blighted.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I was set, but I prepared. Read everything on the website, get to Erie early and dry run to the school, and avoid the East side.
It is likely to impress you negatively.
