How did you prepare for the interview?

The usial stuff I read their website consulted the MSAR. Read all of the reports on this site and got a good night sleep the night before.

What impressed you positively?

I liked the fact that it was low key and the curiculum seemed to be more real world focused rather than stuffy and traditional. Everything was really relaxed. The new Level 4 virology facility and the upcoming Bio terror research lab sound really cool. The anatomy lab was top notch (really everyone says it it must be true!)

What impressed you negatively?

It rained all day the day before and the humidity was positively opressive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be prepared to walk, when they say you need an umbrella they mean it! No ER residency program.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview of the season and I had a great time. While I did not get too much out of the night before the interview program It did give me the chance to meet my fellow interviewees and to sort of share our axiety about the night before. I was able to get many of my questions answered and had new ones to ask at my interview the next day. Both of my interviewers were scientists not Physicians so I made it a point to ask them about their research. overall it was laid back and non threatening.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
