How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews, read over possible interview questions and read interviewfeedback.com messages about the school.

What impressed you positively?

Washington D.C., student satisfaction, the history and mission of the school, faculty members and, most of all, my interviewer.

What impressed you negatively?

Neighborhood immediately surrounding the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviews go in order of arrival at the university. I was the last person to arrive, so I was the last to be interviewed.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a delightful basic science faculty member. The interview was very conversational, he didn't ask many questions, he was more interested in getting a general feel for each of us. As I and another student were the last two to be interviewed and because it was getting late (~4:30pm) he offered to interview the both of us simultaneously. We both agreed and I don't regret the decision. This gentleman was very spiritual, so part of our interview included a discussion of medicine and the bible as you'll see in some of the questions stated below.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
