What are your general comments?
We arrived at 7:45AM, some of us earlier, we sat around until 8:15AM or so. They then had a financial aid discussion before we were split into two groups. Some of us were in the first interview group and othersw in the first tour group. Then we switched. Afterward we had lunch and then learned more about the school and student services. Everyone was very nice. The tour could have been a little more informative. We had lots of downtime as others have also stated. Mostly you spend time getting to know the other 20 applicants but you may want to bring a book or study materials with you.

Tell me about yourself and patient experiences.

They asked me about what issues I thought physicians need to deal with in the future and how we deal with those issues. I said malpractice insurance as one issue needing to be address. Based on my answer of possible ways to alleviate the problem , they asked me to argue the opposite point of view.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, other interviews
What was the most difficult question?
How do you deliever bad news to patients? How do you give a patient hope when their situation is hopeless?
What impressed you positively?
The preceptorship program placing students with a preceptor in the first and second years every other week.
What impressed you negatively?
For the price of tuition and the fact their school is almost brand new, I have been to some schools where the technology is much better and facilities are nicer and the tuition is less. The wireless internet is restricted to only a few areas of campus, they don't record lectures, the class rooms and lecture hall don't look all that comfortable for the amount of time needed to be spent in them. If you are looking for a gym, you might miss it and the student center if you blink.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The ratio of matriculating students for the last two graduating classes of women to men 47W:79M for 2004 and 45W:85M for 2005.
