How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, Review Amcas Application, Resume, Personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The fact that the interviewers role play. It took me a while to figure out what they were doing. Also I was able to ask as many questions as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

The first interviewer appeared to be uninterested. Again, I believe that he was role playing. Perhaps he was the patient and I the physician and my role was to spark some interest.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I knew that the admissions staff would be so kind and helpful. This knowledge would have made me less anxious about the interview.

What are your general comments?

Overall this was a positive experience for me. I was given a tour of the medical school campus and most interesting the gross anatomy laboratory. Each person from U.B. Med, from the librarian to the Computer laboratory personnel to the the admissions staff to the interviewers were positive and that made me more positive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
