How did you prepare for the interview?
I went over my AACOMAS application, supplemental application, went over questions people posted on this website, and had a mock interview.
What impressed you positively?
Surprisingly, this school was very impressive in all aspects. Their flexible curriculum that introduces clinical exposure since day one was good to see. And the amount of money they've recently spent on new facilities showed. They have an entire psuedo-clinical building devoted to practice clinicals. Plus, the hosts seemed really enthusiastic.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That 87% of the people that get interviewed are accepted into the program. So if you have been invited for an interview, don't sweat. Chances are, you are going to get in.
What are your general comments?
The interview was really laid back. From my understanding, everyone gets interviewed by two people at once - one doctor and one admissions person. So the doctor that I had asked me about academics and the admissions lady asked about my personal stuff. But in all, it was conversational (we ended up talking about basketball for about 15 minutes) and they didn't ask any ethics questions, which was a plus. :)
