⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The admissions staff stresses that the interviews are not stressful, and they are not. In fact, I would almost say they are so laid-back as to be anti-climatic. I loved the school, but I really thought i had blown the interview. I did'nt want to get too excited about going there and then get a rejection. On the following Wednesday, I got a certified mail letter saying I was accepted. So don't freak out if your interview seems really short!
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Is there anything about yourself you would like me to convey to the admissions commitee?

What was the most interesting question?

I didn'nt really get any interesting questions asked of me. They were all very typical 'medical school interview' style questions.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, checked out interview feedback, and had 2 mock interviews at my undergrad.

What was the most difficult question?

"Tell me about yourself"

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the MS-1s and how new the facilities are. The OMM lab is gorgeous. The area is very pretty. The whole builiding has wireless internet.

What impressed you negatively?

How brief my interview was. I honestly thought I had blown it for some reason because it only seemed like I spent 2 minutes in there. Other people's interviews took much longer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was horrendous road construction in Biddeford, which screwed up the directions they mailed us.
