How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked over my primary and secondary application briefly. Looked through the interview feedback page. Went over the school's website and prepared answers to the most common questions. Practiced answering questions with family.
What impressed you positively?
The students we talked to had nothing but good things to say. The culture seemed to be very caring and community focused.
What impressed you negatively?
The formaldehyde odor in the anatomy lab is INTENSE, better ventilation would probably be nice.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Uber is your friend to and from the airport, if you can try to ride back with other interviewees. Water was provided, but you should probably bring a bottle just in case. Eat breakfast beforehand although they did provide snacks (granola bars/muffins) and coffee. Bring flats for the tour if you are wearing heels. And RELAX, it was actually a very fun interview.
