How did you prepare for the interview?

Got a haircut, spent a few days in Tahoe, read over secondary and personal statement, had friends mock-interview me.

What impressed you positively?

How nice and accomodating my student-host was, the random conversations/comments from roving doctors and professors, P/F grading system and how much the students love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

the traffice on 405...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my "interview" shoes were the most god-awful pair of shoes created by man-kind.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer closely adhered to the interview sheet that was given by the admissions committee. My interviewer knew my file very well and would ask a lot of detailed related questions...mainly just to clarify any confusion on the secondary. We talked for over an hour, which was a good sign, I suposse. It was a very thorough interview and a lot of different aspects of my application and character were discussed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
