How did you prepare for the interview?

read website, my amcas and secondary, their brochure, found a mini bio and picture of my interviewer on the school's website

What impressed you positively?

the comraderie of the students, the general friendliness of the staff, faculty and students. it seemed like a very supportive environment

What impressed you negatively?

the public transportation options, having a car would make life easier (transporting groceries) and is necesary for travel to some clinical preceptorships and entertainment options

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how relaxed everything would be, there was no need to be nervous (if you get Dr. Robert Packman as your interviewer you're in the clear, he tells jokes and will not ask you difficult questions)

What are your general comments?

they give you a free room for one night, it's not fancy but it was very clean and comfortable (with a sink in the room, alarm clock is provided) and in the same building basically as the pizza party and meeting location for the breakfast and tours. Lunch was on real plates and with silverware, no wrapped sandwiches! Go to the pizza party, lots of med students show up and stick around to talk to you. Take the metrolink from the airport (not a cab), it's easy and cheap, it's just hard to find the signs in the airport. arrive during daylight hours so you can explore the area and get a feel for the layout of the buildings nearby.
