No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Over Primary & Secondary, SDN, my reseach reports

What impressed you positively?

Nice hospital, friendly admission staff, P/F grading

What impressed you negatively?

Buildings were relatively old. Students claimed that the board scores weren't very high (U of C doesn't aim at training students to take the board exam).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Hyde Park has a larger African American population than I imagined.

What are your general comments?

It was a hard interview; the interviewer probed a lot into my choice of medicine and my definition of maturity, and even asked a very bizarre question (See "interesting question"). I didn't know how I did. Later on, my interviewer volunteered to give me a ride to my friend's place, where I stayed, and he told me all about Chicago. I really have no clue if th interview went well or not
