What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly. I liked the student tour guides. One of the students said she interviewed on April 25th, was waitlisted and got accepted on July 3rd. That was nice to hear since I interviewed so late. My interviewer practiced what I want to practice. Coincidence...probably. Good cafe food.

What impressed you negatively?

The med school lectures seemed like they were held in a sauna. The school seems really small (2 buildings) compared to a campus with undergrads.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Check the train schedule! I waited an hour to get back to the city.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My interviewer asked me to start from the beginning...okay...luckily I had done some mock interviews to prepare for open-ended Qs. She wrote down everything I said so I didn't have to give her much eye contact. She was from New York, therefore pleasant and a little blunt if you come from Cali. New York is great. The New York caricatures in the movies bear resemblance to the actual people...funny accents.
