How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over this site, thought about common questions (why you want to be a doctor, etc.)

What impressed you positively?

I was EXTREMELY impressed by the students I met, very nice and relaxed, not in a hurry, good sense of humor. They had very positive feelings about the student community and felt the profs were really going out of their way to help them learn. Beautiful location.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm married, and the Hanover area has no schools at which my wife could continue her education. School facilities outside the hospital pretty drab.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

One interview was by an MD who asked standard questions. A couple ethical questions regarding what you would do with results of unethical experiments (Tuskagee exp etc). Asked about my experiences etc. The second was by a PhD who focused much more on my research, including a couple tough specific questions. He also asked me "What is the biggest problem in the world today" at the end of the interview. This was my first interview day and I was a little extra nervous, but the interviews really were not so bad.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
