10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Used free mock-interview service at my school, did tons of MMI questions found on the internet with friends and family, a few sessions with an online interview prep person

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the school staff, the school made you feel welcome, students there seem to enjoy the school, free glass bottle with the school logo

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really (oh, except there was a snowstorm the day before my interview)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Relax more, interviews here are definitely pretty chill and laid-back. Interviewers are nice and friendly.

What are your general comments?

Be prepared but don't freak out. Be professional.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It'd be nice if the logo on the glass bottle is the school color. It'd be great if we can meet the dean of the medical school on the interview day. Some MMI questions don't really test how students would respond in real life (such as standing up to the people who have an influence on the students' career - how one acts ideally is different than how one would act realistically).
