How did you prepare for the interview?

this site, read the day's New York Times & CNN health sections, reviewed my AMCAS app and personal statements, and (although I'm embarrassed to admit it even anonymously) made a big list of questions I thought could be asked and made sure I had answers to them. Mostly for naught; I was definitely not grilled on anything.

What impressed you positively?

Tons - enthusiastic students. research opportunities. nice, new facilities. alleged personal attention of faculty (I've also heard this about SOM from other sources). proximity to public transit.

What impressed you negatively?

not a whole lot of classroom or study space, and the library facilities are sparse.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

NOT a stress interview; interviewers just seemed to be trying to assess my personality, interests, and reason for interest in medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
