How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over primary and secondary essays, researched the 23 possible interviewers for a little background info, read the wayne website, coached by a consultant who specializes in interview skills, asked family and friends to ask me potential essay questions and I practiced answering them.

What impressed you positively?

Usually interviews at this school are one on one, however, a second year student was sitting in on the interview for training purposes. It was nice to ask the student specific questions about his experience at the school...he was very honest. Also, the physician who interviewed me was extremely friendly and talkative.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour...because I work at the hospitals attatched to the med-school, I knew most of what she was showing. I would have liked a more in depth tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

About 60% of the students granted an interview end up getting an offer.

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. At first I was nervous, but after we got talking it was a breeze! Advice, always present with a firm handshake...I could tell they noticed that I had one.
