2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

Very laid back interview, all staff was very friendly. Students seem to be closely knit with each other and with the professors (when we got a tour of the fitness center some students were even playing basketball with their anatomy prof.) A great experience overall.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Ethical question: What would you do if...
You had a 3 year old child who needed a blood transfusion to save his/her life but the parents did not want to proceed with the transfusion because of their strict religious beliefs.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the Loyola website and my app.
What was the most difficult question?
How would you solve current healthcare problems (HMO's, etc.), also a couple of ethical questions.
What impressed you positively?
New facilities and the incredibly friendly staff. The entire medical school was rebuilt in 1997 and all the labs/lounges/classrooms/lecture halls were new. Students were all very friendly and enthusiastic (kept coming up to me and introducing themselves/chatting about the school). Attached to the medical school is also a brand new fitness facility.
What impressed you negatively?
Location of campus.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
From reading comments on the forums, Loyola seemed to be a "lower" choice for many students. However having seen it for myself it seems like an excellent place to learn medicine and have a great time doing it.
