How did you prepare for the interview?

Just thought about programs I was interested in, looked into what the school offered that's unique from other med schools.

What impressed you positively?

Students were very diverse and upbeat.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer. Had it out for interviewees. I think I was pretty much considered a rejection. That was my impression, considering how negative he was towards my application and interview. I wonder if there was anything I could have done to prove him wrong.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Traffic is horrible!

What are your general comments?

It was very stressful. I felt like the interviewer was very bitter and mean towards premeds. I requested a second interview, and the guy seemed apathethic and disinterested.
