How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn questions were the best. read over amcas

What impressed you positively?

everything! i loved loved loved the school. they seem like they are really going through a positive transition with the new condensed pre-clinical curriculum and all new facilities

What impressed you negatively?

not much... the hills?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there would be hills on the tour. i guess people were writing about how they ask you the behavioral questions, which i was really worried about. the way my interviewer presented them, though, was very relaxed and didnt ask me about what i had learned from the experiences or how i applied them to future situations or anything.

What are your general comments?

awesome day! prepare more or less using the questions here, but then relax. most of the interview is just talking about your application, and the "behavioral" questions are mixed in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They did a great job!
