What are your general comments?

Very good in general. Interviews went pretty well. One interviewer was a non-MD professor, the other was a practising MD volunteering in the admissions committee, who was very nice and understanding. We had to write an essay on 3 of our favorite books before lunch started.

Tell me about your father. ...about mother. WHy med? Why Buffalo?

What was the most interesting question?

Have you ever changed your opinion on something? What is it and why?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, my application, think about possible quiestions and answers.

What impressed you positively?

Lots of time to talk to student volunteers and ask questions, which was very very helpful. Students are very freindly.

What impressed you negatively?

Long and tedious talks during tour by admission staff, informative but boring presentation on the new curriculum. DId not have a set interview schedule of who should go at what time, had to wait around for interviewers to call us --kind of nerve wrecking. 2 separate interviews, so some people had to wait till after 4pm.
