What are your general comments?
First interview was really short (25 min) and she seemed bored before we even sat down. The second interviewer spent most of the time talking about himself and his practice and had the assumption I was applying for a residency post. The admissions office had me come back another day for a replacement interview as a result. The new second interview went really long (almost an hour) and she pressed me on doctor shadowing, leadership, clinical experience. The interview as a whole seemed to go real well though.

What was the most interesting question?
Nothing really, all the questions were pretty typical.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock-interview with my school's career counselor and practicing common interview questions. SDN.
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about your leadership experiences. Not really a hard question, the interviewer pressed on me to explain how they applied to my everyday life. From the amount of follow-up questions, not sure I was giving her what she wanted...
What impressed you positively?
New lecture hall looks pretty nice and the new curriculum is interesting. Students for the most part look pretty engaged with their studies.

A lot of med students I talked to here only got an interview invitation to the U. Not really a negative, but kind of weird...
