What are your general comments?
The school and the connected hospital were amazing. The students there are really down to earth and friendly. My interview was a relaxed and very personal conversation. I felt like I was telling a good friend my life story. Others really got grilled on tort reform, etc., but most felt the same way as I did.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
I wrote out the answers to possible questions (thats how I learn), practiced with friends, read up on current events, researched the school.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are amazing and the campus is beautiful. Everyone I came into contact with was super nice and helpful. There is a good mix of lecture, small group, lab and free time. I absolutely loved it.
What impressed you negatively?
Madison is much smaller than the big city I live in and therefore does not offer the "big city" things that I am used to. Probably a good thing, actually... for both my finances and study habits.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing... I was pretty well prepared. I'm ok for hours in heels, but there is a lot of walking so others regretted wearing them.
