What impressed you positively?
The age of the building. The McGill feel
What impressed you negatively?
One of the interviewers - a 4th year medical student - had trouble looking me in the eyes. Thought that was little rude/insecure on his part. I thought I was supposed to be nervous.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That things rarely start on time. I did have to wait a bit, and the guy next to me was so arrogant, telling some story of how we went skiing for the weekend with his girlfriend to prepare mentally for the interview. Loser.
What are your general comments?
Walked in, brought to a large table. From there, brought to another room. Waited for interviewetrs,. They went for a bathroom break. The DMD who was interviewing me looked like he was 16. He wasn,t though. He was really nice. Kind of cute actually.
