How did you prepare for the interview?

I read interview feedback on this website, I read information from their website, I read my AMCAS application and I spent four hours driving around the nearby neighborhoods.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The school's atmosphere and the surrounding neighborhoods. The area around the school is really safe. There is a security car that drives around and many students walk to school. I like the medical student's curriculum and the hours spent in class (Fridays are half days).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the driving directions that they give has a slight problem. The directions say to turn left onto Hoes Lane, but the road actually reads "Johnson." Be aware of this.

What are your general comments?

I thorougly enjoyed my interview. I arrived about 1 hour early, and was given a handout to read. A fifteen minute video is played before you interview, it summarizes the school and what they have to offer. This was my first interview and I did not know what to expect. I was interviewed by a PhD who also teaches in the medical school. He was very friendly and we had the interview in his office. I was asked many questions about my background and I could tell that the interviewer was sincerely interested in me. After my interview, I was given a tour by a medical student. She was very informative and she described the school for me. She was happy here and said that the other students also enjoyed it. I drove around the surrounding area for about six hours. There is a town nearby called New Brunswick, which is pretty nice. The area is rural, but there are still many activities and it is only a 45 minute drive to Newark or New York City if you like the big cities. I found that it is not a problem to park in nearby towns. At night, I stayed with a medical student (they have a hosting program). I spent about three hours speaking with him about the medical school and the programs offered. He was accepted to multiple schools and chose this school because he liked the atmosphere, the education offered and the surrounding neighborhoods.
