How did you prepare for the interview?

I probably over prepared. I read lots. What helped me the most for my interview at Mac was intorpective thought. Why medicine, why now, how do I deal with conflict etc.

What impressed you positively?

Despite relocation to a different venue last minute and the ice storm, the Mac staff did a great job of organizing the day. The students were VERY nice and helpfull. Great food, lots of support.

What impressed you negatively?

Only the long wait between components of the interview. This could not be helped, however.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

I had a great time. Yes, it was stressfull, but the stress was completely self-imposed. All involved did everything they could to make it a fun and stress free day. Kudos and thanks to Mac.
