How did you prepare for the interview?

I really didn't prepare. I didn't want my answers to sound like they were memorized.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone that I met was very nice. The class sizes there are small so everyone knows everyone else in their class and there is very little competition among classmates. Everyone seems to care about everyone else, including the professors and administrators.

What impressed you negatively?

I got lost a few times trying to find the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't realize that they only admit 60 students per year. When I first heard that I felt like I was wasting my time being there because I knew that they had already accepted at least 60 students. I was later relieved to find out that they actually send out over 100 acceptance letters, but many of those that are accepted decline to attend.

What are your general comments?

There were six of us there to be interviewed. First we all met with the admissions director, then we met with the assistant financial aid director. We were then given a tour of the new facilities by two first year medical students. We then had lunch and were given a tour of the hospital by a fourth year medical student. We then met with our interviewers. We each had two one-on-one interviews. The interviewers were from many different walks of life. Some were fourth year medical students, some were professors at the medical school, and some were community members. One of the community members giving interviews that day was a chemistry professor at a small, nearby college. The other was a Christmas tree farmer. All interviewer opinions count equally toward your evaluation, no matter who they are.
