How did you prepare for the interview?

Read web site, reivewed my personal statement and post-secondary experiences, practiced mock-interviews with friends and family

What impressed you positively?

The interview day was set up to relax the applicants. There were so many speeches/tours/information sessions and lunch that by the time the interview rolled around at 2pm, I was very relaxed and outgoing with my interviewer. Also, everyone seemed to have a really possitive opinion of Jeff, the clinical facilities were impressive and their clinical reputation is impeccable

What impressed you negatively?

My student tour guide was not very good (A gum snapping, platform heel, ditsy type who showed us the pool and told us she did not go to class - though I'm sure you would even find people like this at Harvard. Kind of annoys me that she will share the MD degree with me someday. But hey, that's just one guy's opinion)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Jeff has a new block schedule/organ systems curriculum. Also, they have done away with letter grades and gone to an honors/pass/fail system this year.

What are your general comments?

Excellent! Great school! I hope I get in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
