How did you prepare for the interview?

I over prepared by reading my research, healthcare books, and a ethics book. Don't even bother.

What impressed you positively?

The warm nature of the school. It was very clinically based. I had a PhD say this wasn't a research school, and that they train clinicians as their first priority. New Antamony Lab def Impressed me!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing much. It's a above par med school. Student body was alright, but not super progressive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Fly Fly Fly, specially Jet Blue if you are from NY, if you purchase > 2weeks, tiks are super super cheap.

What are your general comments?

It was great. My interviewer opened up my secret envelope and showed me what he was gonna check off. If you are interviewing so early (Sept) u are probably gonna get in, if you have a people personality.
