How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Interview Feedback, Interview Feedback.com, MCO website, books on ethics and looking over application.

What impressed you positively?

Friendly, open and candid students and faculty. The building and facilities. (Designed by the same architect as WTC) Glass hallways and tunnels connecting each building. (No need to step out in the cold) Being able to establish Ohio residency after 1 year.

What impressed you negatively?

The weather. (Scrapping ice off the car)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Although Toledo is not a thriving metropolis like LA or NYC, it is still a fairly good sized city. There are a lot of things to do and they're renovating the downtown area.

What are your general comments?

MCO really tries to emphasize its good rapport between the students and faculty. It's pretty evident that the school is very supportive and nurturing. The interview day is designed to be low stress and a chance for interaction. All the med students will tell you to relax for the interviews and that they are generally conversational. However, beware and don't be too relaxed so that you're caught off guard by the typical med school questions.
