What impressed you positively?

The nature of my interview. The flexibility of the program and the various electives to choose from. The amount of patient interaction in the first 2 years (following a pregnancy or a geriatric patient). The Primary Care Track.

What impressed you negatively?

The medical school building is old. The lunch at the hospital cafeteria.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you drive, I suggest parking in the University Hospital visitors parking garage, off of Adelbert (very close to med building: I paid $8). A previous interview feedback posting said that they validate parking. I found that they do NOT.

What are your general comments?

Surprisingly, my interview was CLOSED-FILE. All the postings on interview feedback I had read were all open-file, so that was what I was expecting. My interviewer really never asked me any questions. He glanced at the first sheet of my AMCAS and saw my major and wanted to know why I chose it and secondly, why medicine. The he told me about himself and how he got into medicine (a very interesting story, I might add). The interview was totally conversational and seemed to be very informal. He told me the reason he liked to do closed-file interviews was to get a "gut feeling" about the candidate and their desire to be a doctor. Overall, the interview went really well and my interviewer was very easy to talk to.
