How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, read up on OHP guidelines and other specific to oregon information.

What impressed you positively?

The students seem to love it, and many of the statistics and curriculum are very impressive. They really sold me into wanting to attend!

What impressed you negatively?

The lunch and the tour weren't all that great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of walking from building to building to and from your interviews, as well as the tour... so make sure your shoes are walk friendly... most likely you'll visit all of the buildings, lost, looking for your interviewer's office!

What are your general comments?

While I was expecting one very casual conversational interview and one cut-throat firing range interview, I got 2 very relaxed interviews. I didn't even get asked the "Why do you want to be a doctor" bit, but managed to work it into conversation anyway. The school is amazing and very impressive, and this experience moved OHSU into my number one school slot. It has a very innovative and modern curriculum that interested me greatly.
