How did you prepare for the interview?

I spent time reviewing the website but I found that it wasn't really neccessary for the interview so much. As long as you know that the school prides themselves on their clinical emphasis, you've gotten what you need from the site.

What impressed you positively?

The tour was given by two second year students who did an outstanding job of informing me about the school and what it's like to be a medical student at Wayne State. They both really love it there and said they turned down schools like U of M because they like the way Wayne educates its students. The tour and the campus are fabulous. The Detroit Medical Center is huge and beautifull.

What impressed you negatively?

The teaching facilities are not state of the art but they serve their purpose.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how truly low stress the interview is. I had read from this website and from interviewfeedback.com (which is down now, sadly enough) that the interview is nothing to stress over. I had trouble sleeping last night but the interview went great and she actually told me that i did very well. Thats better than saying I suck, right?

What are your general comments?

Good experience. I'm really looking forward to going to Wayne State and living in downtown Detroit. I will find out on May 20th. Thats the last decision date. The interview is really a conversation and she did a lot of the talking. The 55 minutes went by really fast. They really just want to know that I am a really person and that I have a strong desire to go to school there and that I will work hard once I'm in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
