my Q's were generic, however, the other candidates I spoke w/ had more challenging ones. ex. what would you do in anatomy class, if one person in your group never prepared and kept giving the wrong answers, w/ no regard to the fact that the group grade was marked down for it?

What was the most difficult question?

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, my notes from shadowing, reading personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

location of school (conviniently right downtown); diversity of student body. Students seemed very happy. Everything looked new. EVERYTHING IS SUBWAY ACCESSABLE, Thank goodness.

What impressed you negatively?

everything was so hightech, that I wondered if it would affect student-teacher intimacy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing.

What are your general comments?

with a 4th yr student. Very agreeable person. Qs were very typical. Very relaxed. They seem to have in mind who they want, but the interview rules out people who you only know inperson, should not be practicing medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
