How did you prepare for the interview?

Study research stuff, look at this site, talk with other people. I went a little overboard with my research...Pitt's interview doesn't go all out with the stress level. Faculty is very nice.

What impressed you positively?

Students are SOO happy. I had a twisted notion of the city and Pittsburgh is actually very beautiful. The school has a ton of money. I was very impressed by both the research resource and the clinical resource. Overall it was very positive.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing in particular

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How beautiful Pittsburgh is and how happy students are. The student hosts are super super nice. The dinner was great.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed. The interview is two days long. First day is for MD/PhD. There is one research faculty interview. The rest is with MSTP administrators. Be sure to know the reason for getting both degrees. There is also a MSTP student interview. The second day is straight MD interview with one faculty and one student. Overall very low stress. Students are very happy.
