How did you prepare for the interview?

Study sample interview questions, formulate quality answers.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are very nice, it is next to the new Peterson center (basketball arena/workout facility) and is in a great medical community. The simulation clinic is fairly new, and new facilities are going up in the area.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was rude and uninterested. He did not bother to look at my file (he was supposed to) and while I was speaking he looked through his mail without paying attention to me. He then picked up the phone and called about a parking ticket he just received, without even an apology for his interruption. Not a great interview, but I heard the other interviewers are fairly congenial.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
