How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by the sense of "community" among the students. The Standardized Patient program is one of the best in the country. The city is beautiful and so close to the beach.

What impressed you negatively?

It was a really long day. The dean was supposed to join us for lunch, but didn't. One person walked passed our group during our tour and grumbled, "They all look the same to me". That made me feel nervous.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I wish I was a VA resident!!!

What are your general comments?

Everyone arrived at 10am looking sharp (9 ppl). We assembled in a conference room where we were given our agendas for the day and a preso on SP's. We also got to practice on a real SP (pipe up and volunteer!). We then toured the hospital and the classrooms. Afterwards we had lunch and talked about money. Then 3 sets of interviews (you will only go to one) scheduled 45 minutes apart. Mine was the 2nd set so I had an hour to kill. I had 2 interviewers. They asked about me specifically and probed me about my ethics, passion and commitment. Then I asked questions. Guys!-Don't all wear black (it makes you all look the same!)
