How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at my entire file and really thought about the ideas I wanted to convey so I would not choke up on questions or phrases I wrote in my application. I did not study it though because I did not want to seem rehearsed.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone gives you hope that you have a strong chance. Also the staff, interviewers, and medical students create a very relaxed environment for the interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

The school seems a little rundown, but they are working on improving the infrastructure and buildings slowly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

E-mail updates to current applicants. The process is already long, but it makes it more difficult when you don't know where you stand as an applicant. Exact ranks don't need to be given, but priority versus low chances can be helpful for those who are reapplying.
