How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, knew my application well, read "Severed Trust", which details the troubles of our health care system (an excellent and very informative book)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Many of the buildings are either brand new or have recently been remodeled. The friendliness of all the staff and students. The first year students that gave our tour were very happy to be at the U and had nothing but postive things to say. The wealth of opportunities to get involved in activities outside of academics. The new curriculum/schedule gives more time during the summer.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The presentation by the admissions person could use some work. Nothing about the school or program.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That anatomy is done in a block in the first seven weeks. The students said that it was strenuous, but enjoyed only having to worry about the course by itself. Your application is evaluated by a number of people before the final decision is made.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview was very laid-back and informal. The questions were all personal and related to my essays and experiences, nothing ethical or hypothetical. My interviewer was very encouraging and genuinely seemed interested in me. He had worked at a number of other institutions and said that the U was his favorite. Overall I felt that the interviewer really got to know me (as much as someone can in 45 min.)and what I had to offer.
