How did you prepare for the interview?
Did some internet search on med school interview questions. Had a friend currently in medical school give me a mock interview. Basically just spent a good amount of time thinking about myself and my own motivations and filled out answers to questions but did NOT memorize them - it makes the interview a lot easier if most of your responses are natural and meaningful to yourself!!
What impressed you positively?
The kindness of the students and the faculty. Everyone made a huge effort to calm us all down and help us relax and be comfortable being ourselves.
What impressed you negatively?
Absolutely nothing!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviewers were not out to trick me or corner me into an uncomfortable situation
What are your general comments?
This school has cultivated a warm and welcoming environment. The students were friendly and supportive and they all wished us interviewees good luck as they passed us in the hallways. The faculty was excellent in making common space with us and ensuring that we did not feel like we had to pretend to be anyone but who we are. The interview rooms were perfect, small, and inviting. Interviewees and interviewers sat at the same level at the same desk. It was more conversational than anything else. This school is wonderful!!!

None! Keep doing what you're doing because it's definitely working!
