How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, went over the school's website, looked up some information on Bellevue, reviewed my AMCAS
What impressed you positively?
The students were extremely nice and helpful and genuinely seemed happy to be there. Bellevue is really amazing
What impressed you negatively?
The dorms weren't great but the location makes up for it. Also, there was a bit of confusion over the curriculum as one dean told us that they used the integrated module system (learning each organ system at a time) while the students told us that the courses were taught in the traditional style (anatomy, biochemistry, histology, etc. of the whole body). I never really got an answer as to which it was.
What are your general comments?
The interview was extremely conversational and laid back, so it was relatively stress-free. Also, it was very quick so make sure you say what you want to say before it ends!
