How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN's Interview Feedback. Also, the book ''Essays That Will Get You Into Medical School'' has a chapter on interviewing. The authors break interview questions down to
Only 6 categories. Sure enough every question fell into one of these categories. The books $10, money well spent.
What impressed you positively?
The campus is new, with room to grow. The student housing is nice and there are privately apartments across the street. Most impressive was the friendly demeanor of the staff, faculty, and students. I was very impressed by the high COMLEX pass rate, non-competitive atmosphere, and approachability and open door policy of faculty.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The extent of the faculty open-door policy. Many schools claim this policy, but AZCOM seams very sincere about it, i.e. it doesn’t appear to be hype.
What are your general comments?
The interview went well. I was a little nervous, but more anxious than nervous. There’s a subtle difference. The interviewers were all nice, relaxed, and asked appropriate questions. I have a non-traditional back ground; hence many questions probed elements of my experience. I didn’t get any “if you were a tree what would you be†type questions.
I absolutely felt they were trying to get to know me.
