How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN school feedback, prepared & practiced responses to standard questions and school-specific questions. Did mock interviews (including undergrad panel mock interview).

What impressed you positively?

The loyalty and kindness of our medical student guides throughout the day.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The interview is just to make sure you're normal." & "Even students with 3.25 GPA get in."

What are your general comments?

Small talk with your fellow interviewees will help you; the more closely you bond with these people, the easier it is to excel (while being yourself)-which seems to be what is most desired by those deciding your fate on this day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Rotating delegation of email coverage during holidays in order to prevent delays of up to two weeks for rescheduling interviews would probably benefit both OUMED and interviewees.
