How did you prepare for the interview?

LOTS of research on sites like this, talked to a friend currently enrolled there. Studied up on managed care and current med topics, but there were no questions about that.

What impressed you positively?

The Dean of Admissions, Dr. Foxwell. Also, the whole school had a very laid back atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interview. It was short and the guy seemed uninterested. Also, I was kind of own my own to navigate through the campus to find my interviewers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are conducted all over the campus. I had to walk a couple of blocks through the city in the snow to get to and from my first interview.

What are your general comments?

The second interview, with a second year student, went very well. Overall the experience was a nervous first for me. Very impressed with the cirriculum-- this is my top choice school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
