How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The school is near the beach! You can do rotations at the prison hospital on campus - I did not know this coming in. You can do third year rotations in Houston.

What impressed you negatively?

The campus and medical center seemed deserted - I didn't like the lack of people around. We did not tour the hospital so it was hard to tell what the facilities were like. Both of my interviews were strange...my first interviewer was seeing patients at the same time as interviewing me so he kept leaving the room - my second one did not know he was supposed to interview me...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Definitely go to the social! (I did) It was great! Definitely what I needed the night before my first interview to calm me down and to talk casually to current students.

What are your general comments?

Overall I liked the school! I was disappointed by some aspects of the medical center and my actual interviews though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be sure the interviewers know they are supposed to be interviewing! Other than that, it was a great day!
