How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

Probably the most professional interview day I've been on - very impressive how it was structurally laid out. Strictly pass/fail and no class rank whatsoever was very impressive

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't feel like the curriculum would prepare me too well for the boards because only about 2 hours a day is spent in lecture - seems like it is great for helping students think as doctors and try and diagnose problems (which is more important of course than boards), but with how important boards are, I don't feel I'd be as prepared as a I should be

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

There are two interviews - one with a faculty that is open file (45 min), then one with a student that is closed file (30 min)
