How did you prepare for the interview?

Read studentdoctor and my secondary application to Duke. (I am glad that I re-read my secondary as some of my questions were direct quotes from my essays...)

What impressed you positively?

The facilities, cheap cost of living, and the overall caliber of the students.

What impressed you negatively?

I know I shouldn't complain about this but their breaks are really short...the first summer is only one month long!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing - their website is extremely informative.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Duke. It is my top choice school... The technological advancements both in the hospital and in the classroom are significantly more outstanding than any other school that I have interviewed at. The campus is gorgeous and the hospital is amazing. The only reason that I put the stress level at 3 was because this is where I really want to go!
