No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Asked some friends in med school at Minnesota about their interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very conversational, and the interviewer was impeccably mannered and polite.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides were friendly, but didn't know where the hell they were going on the tour.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Why I wanted to be a doctor as opposed to a nurse, physical therapist. I fumbled that question during the interview.

What are your general comments?

The day overall was enjoyable, the fellow interviewees in my group were nice and the interview went well. The lady checking in folks at the admissions office was a little surly, but hell, I would be too if I had to deal with snooty pre-meds all day everyday.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
