⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Very positive. I felt that I learned a lot about a very good program. The small size of the school is a big selling point for me, as I went to a "name" institution as an undergrad and am sick of anonymity. The University of Nevada seems like it will be a good way to get a good, personal education.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What would your best friend say are your best qualities?

What was the most interesting question?

If President Bush called you up today and made you czar of health care in the United States, what would you do to fix it?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Going over my notes from medical ethics and us health policy classes and rereading my application.

What was the most difficult question?

How many times will you try to get in to medical school before you give up? (Even though this is my first time applying...)

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of my student interviewer and my student "peer contact."

What impressed you negatively?

The quality of the anatomy lab is not the best I've seen, and anatomy labs are prosected, so there isn't the aspect of discovering structure yourself--it's already been dissected out and pinned.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where the school is located. It isn't the easiest thing to find--I'm glad I went the day before to check it out.
