How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this website, the school's website, and my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

The students are very happy there. The students have no costs and only $20K of their $35K is taxable.

What impressed you negatively?

The facility is older.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have studied the maps the school sent us better. You have to get onto the Naval Base to get to the school.

What are your general comments?

There were about forty of us interviewing. The day started about 7:30 a.m., so get up early and arrive early. The parking is in the basement of the school and the admissions office is on the first floor. The day starts out with briefings, which were great. Military medicine is described and we are informed that it is not for everyone. We were given a tour of the school, which is older, but has everything you need. Students are required to wear their dressy uniform or their combat uniform (most prefer to wear the combat uniform). The students are very happy here. 1 in 3 students is married. The student body is diverse. There is a lot of traffic in the D.C. area, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the school. Regarding the interviews: my first interviewer asked a lot of questions about military medicine, while my second interviewer focused more on finding out who I am as an individual. Be prepared for questions about the military.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
