What impressed you positively?
None of the panelists were rude or indifferent to my answers; a stark contrast to my interview last year at the U of M.
What impressed you negatively?
I found a lot of the Q & A with medical students a little unecessary before the interview, considering none of us have been accepted into the program yet. I suppose it was more for out of province applicants.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Born in Winnipeg, have been at the U of M forever, no surprises.
What are your general comments?
I truly feel that I had a solid interview; obviously, I don't know how the panelists felt of me, but I'm hoping they enjoyed meeting with me and were impressed by some of my answers. At the end of the day, the MCAT is the primary determinant for entry at the U of M, encompassing 50% of the application criteria.
