How did you prepare for the interview?
Glanced through the interview feedback questions, went over my personal statement, read a few issues of The New Physician for possible ethical discussion.
What impressed you positively?
The school's sense of community, professor open door policy,COMLEX scores and focus on preparing the student before rotations to name a few. Also, for the interview I was really impressed that instead of using our AACOMAS printout and transcripts, all of the questions were based off of the resume's that we sent in. That made for much more diverse topics for conversation.
