How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to friends, this site, MSSM website.

What impressed you positively?

Willingness of students to spend a lot of time talking with us about the school, and answering all of our questions in depth. Neighborhood, number of opportunities for volunteering with community groups. They really seem like they take care of all the little details to make the students happy (great place to live, windows in anatomy labs, dedicated faculty).

What impressed you negatively?

Cafeteria wasn't too great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

My interviewers were really friendly, open, and thoughtful. My application was very well examined, and I was asked about trends in my record. (one of my interviewers did so more than I have experienced at any other school). This interviewer also followed up most questions that I answered with more detailed inquiries about my answer (which I thought was a good thing, but be prepared!)
