What impressed you positively?
The Admissions Secretaries and the members of the Admissions Committee that I met with were incredibly nice. The interviews were very laid back and relaxed; the interviewers didn't attempt to interrogate me or make me feel nervous.
What impressed you negatively?
I actually wish the campus tour would have been a little more in-depth. We didn't get to visit very many locations on campus.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Ladies, when they tell you to wear comfortable shoes, heed their advice! You will be walking quite a bit.
What are your general comments?
Overall, a great experience, but not what I expected. I thought the interviewers were going to grill me on medical ethics and current events, but I barely got any questions concerning those topics. All of the interviewers were really nice and laid-back; all asked about my family, which was nice. They said they are gearing the questions a little differently this year, focusing on more relaxed questions in order to really get to know the applicants. Overall, a painless experience.
