How did you prepare for the interview?

This website and reading professional medical journals.

What impressed you positively?

Everything! I am impressed with the curriculum and the opportunities for clinical training in Washington. The patient population is very diverse and one would have the opportunity to learn a great deal about the practice of medicine. I also like the aspect of actually seeing patients within weeks of orientation and the opportunity to practice in the simulated skills labs. This place is really neat.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost of tuition here is extremely high, but it appears that the education that I would receive would be well worth it. I wish I had an opportunity to meet with the dean, but he was tied up at the hospital and unable to attend, which is understandable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how large the Smithsonian really is. If I had known, I would have tried to spend more time there.

What are your general comments?

It was a very laid back experience. I was impressed with the presentation that Darrell gave about the school. Both of my interviewers seemed very interested in finding out more about me and willing to answer any questions that I had about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
