✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read medical application books, mock interview at career services office of my university, asked former interviewees about their experiences, talked over questions and answers with family and friends.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers knew my file, and came in ready to have a conversation with me about my interests and aspirations rather than grill me with a set of pre-formulated questions.

What impressed you negatively?

One interviewer seemed to imply that he had little reason to advocate my acceptance by asking me to tell him what he should tell the admissions committee.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known I would be asked about my desired specialty. I also wish I had known that the interviewers would be "acting as my advocates to the admissions committee."

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interviews were not particularly stressful, and I felt as though the interviewers were on my side. It seemed like they really wanted to get to know me better so they could give an accurate impression of my merits as an applicant to the admissions committee.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
