See, the way my interview went was I just started talking about myself, they were pretty relaxed and it seemed like they had a list of questions, but I guess I supplied them with enough information i.e. Who I am, Why medicine, Why marshall, What I like to do for fun, What books do I read,

What impressed you positively?
The facilities. Also, the people are so helpful and nice!!! Ms. Warren is extremely sweet, and the general attitude is relaxed. They realize you've worked hard to get to this point! In terms of application process, they (rather Ms. Warren) does everything in a timely fashion, you never feel stranded as most other med schools do. The environment is one that promotes nurturing to students, not torturing!
What impressed you negatively?
I would have liked to have talked to a few med students at the school. The place where the interview takes place isn't the same place where the first and second year med students are at. Also, a tour of the rest of the campus would have been nice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing... hindsight is 20/20.
okay fine, don't be nervous, the staff is so sweet and relaxed!! :)
What are your general comments?
I really enjoyed the experience, like I mentioned before, they are very relaxed and genuinely helpful people. They aren't out there to get you and be tough on you, they realize that if you've gotten to this point, you've gone through all of that. They make a lot of jokes. I remember the my second interviewer had told someone that they haven't accepted any of his interviewees in seven years. He was describing the face on that interviewee, and we were just sitting there being grateful we weren't the ones he said that too! He was teasing though, but no one is hardcore ''WHAT are you DOING here???''
