How did you prepare for the interview?

a lot of introspection, talking with friends who also applied and interviewed for medical school (and some who didn't), and i read the interview feedback on this website.

What impressed you positively?

the students and the school itself. the dean of admissions offered some pretty impressive statistics early on during the day, and from what i saw on the tour, they all seemed believable. the students that ran the tour were also really well informed, and they seemed happy enough, and that was an added plus.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

overall, i would have to say that the experience was a good one. the people that i met were all really friendly and stressed that we had already stood out enough to receive an interview; all that remained was getting to know us. the interviewers seemed just as interested in letting me get to know them, which i thought was a nice change from some of my other interviews. none of the interviewers appeared tough, but mccluggage (the dean of admissions) was tough, according to some of the other applicants, but i didn't think he was that bad. the interview moved lsu from the middle of my list to the top, and i will be there this fall.
