How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at sdn's interview feedback, northwestern website, reread my applications

What impressed you positively?

the location, chicago was great. the hospitals are more like hotels, very high class, high tech, they're some of the few hospitals that aren't in the red, the student i stayed with the night before was awesome, the dorm was pretty nice

What impressed you negatively?

the people i interviewed with seemed very pre-medish, very uptight, etc. the gross anatomy labs were pretty ugh. the student tour guides were pretty lackluster. the campus was separated by many miles from the undergrad campus (although there are many other northwestern grad schools there)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how much i liked chicago - i might have applied to more schools there...

What are your general comments?

we got there mad early, but it was a quick walk from the dorm. we had an hour long orientation thing with one of the admissions deans, including a short video made by feinberg students. they had a light breakfast served. then we had two hours of interviews, both group and individual, and free time. the individual interview is more like, is all hte info in your file correct. then we has lunch/tour with some students. the facilities were awesome, lunch was good, etc. we went back for a brief talk about the curriculum and an example of a pbl session. the dreaded financial aid talk has apparently been replaced. then we chatted informally with some current students that stopped by. the day ended around 3:30, and we were all exhausted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
