How did you prepare for the interview?
Printed practice questions and had a friend ask me the day before. This helped a lot because it exposed what I needed to brush up on.
What impressed you positively?
The friendliness of everyone
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That it's not that stressful. The interviewers are like your attorney - they want to do their best to help you "win" in a sense.. so take advantage of that. Don't be modest. If you have a lot of experience, let them know and elaborate on it.
What are your general comments?
If you are serious about patient centered care, then Mizzou is an excellent school for you. If you are more into the research aspect (although Mizzou med school is good for that too) or are not into working with others, I would suggest applying somewhere else. I heard serveral times that they try to select students who jive well with working with others for PBL, are open and friendly, etc.
