How did you prepare for the interview?

read up on the school (wikipedia, their website), read these

What impressed you positively?

the facilities and resources....even the gym had really high ceilings with everything brand-spanking new!

What impressed you negatively?

I guess after I went to their other campus they told us that even though you get a TON of clinical exposure in your 4 yrs at Miller, they are such huge teaching hospitals that teh likelihood you will actually DO much isn't that high because there are residents and interns on your teams too.....but still seemed REALLY REALLY impressive, this was a very minor thing, and you can always do away rotations

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the residency process is just like applying to med school.....sigh. but honestly, not much.....be careful ordering a cab, i would order it WAY ahead of time

What are your general comments?

great school

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Making the secondary easier to edit- it was pretty low-tech
