How did you prepare for the interview?

School website.

What impressed you positively?

The school's reputation in California of producing the best student clinicians. The location is 45 min from LA, 1 hour from Malibu and Venice Beaches, Big Bear Ski resort is 45 min from Campus. It's not like I'll have the time to do all that anyway. The town of Loma Linda itself has a great sense of community.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture hall for the first year med students is a little gloomy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I came into the interview thinking that most of the students interviewing would be from Seventh-day Adventist undergraduate institutions. They had a lot of individuals who were from several secular well respected universities. Also, they really didn't shove the religion issue at all. They do make it clear that it is a Christian institution, but they do not shove it down your throat.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I felt that Loma Linda University was great inverview experience. They really wanted to get to know me as a person and wanted to know my motivation and desire for the study of medicine. The students were very passionate about Loma Linda and why they had chosen to obtain their medical education there, despite being accepted to other respected institutions that also had cheaper tuitions.
