How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my essays. SDN

What impressed you positively?

The Sim labs, the Anatomy lab, the opportunity to do international missions. The week off after finishing every block. Increased time off to study for boards. They give you a practice test before you take it.

What impressed you negatively?

I was really confused...and still am...about the 3rd year match lottery system. How is that decided etc. The students seemed blah. Maybe it was the end of a Block or something. They just seemed aloof and unknowledgeable. The ones I spoke to, really did not have the answers to my questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The weather was warm.

What are your general comments?

I still came away with alot more questions than answers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
