How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading this site, reading anything I could find on medical school interviews, thinking about how to make my responses very positive and confident.

What impressed you positively?

The tour of the medical school--I really liked some of the aspects of the program they described, such as the 'pregnant patient' program, where you attend check-ups for a pregnant patient, and if there is enough time, present for the birth; after the baby is born, you attend all of the child's checkups. You can also opt for a geriatric patient, and I think they said there was a new third option, but I forget. Oh yeah, and the food in the cafeteria was really good!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I don't think there's anything I wish I'd have known beforehand, because my experience was a pretty positive one.

What are your general comments?

This interview was at the medical school, and conducted by Dr. McCoy, but it was for the Pre-Professional Scholars program in Medicine. It's a program where incoming freshman to Case undergrad are conditionally admitted to medical school in four years, provided they maintain a 3.6 average and complete all the pre-med core classes. It was very laid-back and he wrote my answers down in his Palm Pilot.
