What impressed you negatively?
I feel like they didn't do a great job selling the school at all. Really the only thing that was a pro that they kept on saying was their reputation and nearby clinical sites. Felt like there wasn't too much for them to brag about.
Dean said really the only time he thinks it is accepted for students to research during the summer in between their first and second year which seemed odd to me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It is a semi-closed interview. The interviewers have your resume, personal statement, and secondary... but they don't know your grades or MCAT.
What are your general comments?
They ask you a lot of general (non-med school) interview questions.
One interviewer will be “pushing” you with curt answers or making you doubt what you said, which is apparently on purpose. If you tell them any points about yourself or what you do, then they definitely write it down and come back to ask/explain yourself in more detail.
