What was the most interesting question?

Suppose it's 15 years from now, you're a very accomplished surgeon, you have your entire family over for Thanksgiving, you've just started carving the turkey and the phone rings. It's the resident at the hospital saying that a patient of yours needs an immediate operation. He knows you're not on call, but the patient would feel better if you performed the surgery. What do you do and why?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my AMCAS and secondary applications.

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly, laid back experience. Plus they apologized for the parking problem and gave me a free voucher for the parking fee.

What impressed you negatively?

Getting a parking place was pretty stressful, and I don't think they gave nearly enough time for the tour. Also the interview was at the end of the day, and I would have preferred it at the beginning.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers were two interviewers per one student, and I had thought it would be one on one.

What are your general comments?

Very positive experience. OSU is growing rapidly, they have tons of money, very friendly people, and what sounds like a really good curriculum.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
