How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, tulane website, looked at my application

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so laid back and so nice. Random people wished me luck while I was walking down the hall, and the students took our whole group of interviewees out for drinks after the interview day was over.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are old and aren't necessarily the most impressive

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

New Orleans traffic is horrendous, I almost missed my flight home.

What are your general comments?

It was my first interview and a very relaxed experience. The head of admissions interviews everyone and told us that he chooses people based on whether he "clicks" with them. There's no way you can control that, so the only thing you can do is be yourself and hope for the best. Another faculty interview followed. Then, we had lunch with a student, which was technically the third interview. At the end, a first year gave us a tour of the campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
