How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and read UIC website

What impressed you positively?

I like the clinical exposure that students get here. It seems like the M3's and M4's get a lot of patient responsibility. The patient population is also very diverse and largely underserved.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities seem a bit old, but not that bad really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I liked this school. One of the members of my panel did not show up until about 5 minutes before my interview ended. The interview itself is very relaxed for a 3 person group (panel) interview. They only have access to your personal statement, so be prepared to talk about whats in it and what else you would like to share thats not in your personal statement.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
