How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Jefferson online catalog, reread AMCAS app, rehearsed possible answers to questions, interview feedback!

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed happy, the hospital seemed very nice, campus has a very cozy feel to it, and center city philly is AWESOME!

What impressed you negatively?

Not too much... Jefferson is awesome! I wish they had taken us into the dorms though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is only food at the very beginning and the very end of the day... so make sure you take full advantage, cause growling tummies during the interview is no good.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviewers, one an experienced member of the adcom, and the other was a newbie who was learning how to conduct interviews. The second interviewer basically observed the whole time, saying very little. The Jefferson admissions office said that this situation was the exception to the rule, however- most interviews will be one on one. Overall, it was pretty low stress... i was asked stuff pretty much right off my application... i would suggest that people try to work in some stuff that doesnt show up on the app. though, just to add another dimension to your file. Also, come prepared with questions, my interviewer really seemed to want to help me get to know the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
