How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, Primary/Secondary, reflect on myself.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was nice, interview group was small (6 people, other interviews are 30+), interview was actually about me (Had some interviews where it was obvious that they did not review my file enough and would just ask one type of question over and over). Clinical years.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the presentation tour gave information about: Services on campus, detailed information about hospitals in clinical hubs. I also wish the tour was longer and gave more information about WCU and not just the medical school. I think the tour would be better if it was given by a student and more planned/structured and not as casual. It would also help students if there were signs put up indicating where the interview was.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NA

What are your general comments?

I would say arrive a little early, since WCU has an undergrad/grad, there are other buildings that are not related to the medical school, so it can be a little tricky to find.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I feel that the tour could have been better. I would have liked to tour the entire campus (nonmedical buildings). I believe that WCUCOM is unique because they have Undergrad/Grad programs, school sports, etc and they should talk about it during the interview. I also would have liked a more detailed presentation about our clinical years. WCU-COM uses a hub system, so students do not have to move a lot, but I would've liked detailed information about the hospitals (XYZ Hospital, XYZ beds, XYZ services, etc). I do not think the tour/presentation showed the school as best as it could have. (I liked the school, but the presentation could be improved).
