How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed this website, my application & essays, the med school website, and asked friends/family for suggestions.

What impressed you positively?

It was VERY laid back, and we were able to see a 15-min video of the construction of the brand new facility that will be completed next summer, YAY!

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was pretty boring, especially because it was of the old facility which none of us will be using when we start.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not too much, I've been in Madison for the past 3 years, so I realize its shortcomings (PARKING) and its strengths (THE PEOPLE)

What are your general comments?

The interviews themselves were very laid back. One with a student, and one with faculty. They had a copy of my AMCAS, but the grades and MCAT scores were blacked out. It was really more of a conversation in both cases, beginning with the basic "Tell me about yourself..." If you're coming to Madison to interview, please don't get too stressed, I realize now that I shouldn't have.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
