How did you prepare for the interview?

Sincerely pursued my interests, visited internet sites like this one, talked to med students, read a lot and went out the night before.

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the students and faculty were! Everyone just kept smiling and offering to help me do things! Absolutely unbelievable how much the entire Meds 2006 class was there FOR the interviewees!

What impressed you negatively?

Construction of the Med Sci Building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well, to twist the question a little: I wish I knew that Western was going to end up being the school where I do my MD. During interview time, I had two schools I had rather gone to, but only AFTER I got acceptances at those two schools did I suddenly decide I wanted Western the most afterall!

What are your general comments?

Western wasn't my first choice at the time of the interview and I felt very confident about my chances at two other schools. As a result, I was very relaxed. I even played air guitar and sang during my UWO interview. The panel liked that apparently.... I guess the secret is, and always will be, 'just be yourself'. The air guitar thing was just something I would have done in most conversations if I was asked the same questions the interviewers asked. I didn't think it right to act like some other person so I just did what I would have normally done, and I'm glad that was the message that was conveyed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
