How did you prepare for the interview?

Read feedback on this site, read a book on health care issues, reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The city itself was quite beautiful

What impressed you negatively?

That they took us into the anatomy labs while the students were working. I thought that was incredibly disrespectful to the families and the deceased who had very graciously donated their bodies to have a bunch of interviewees being thrown into the lab just to chat with students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Pittsburgh is really hilly!

What are your general comments?

The whole experience was more stressful than another interview I'd had. They provide some food in the morning which is nice. Someone did a presentation on the curriculum which was way too detailed and boring. My student interviewer said he wasn't told until that morning that he was going to interview me. Not the way to make someone feel too welcome. But then again, nothing catastrophic happened either.
