How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read about the school (I wasn't asked why do you want to attent the UofU)

What impressed you positively?

The school is actually in the hospital and all the hospitals there including the UofU, Primary Children's and the VA hospital, as well as a few others are so closely linked. Research opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day was kind of hokey... not as elaborate and organized as other schools. I don't really have any complaints about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

While the curriculum appears to be very traditional, there are alot of opportunities to volunteer in clinical settings where there is usually a great amount of responsibility placed on the student such as interviewing the patients and deciding what tests to order and then reviewing with the doctor what you want to do.

What are your general comments?

I don't know that I could have asked for two better interviewers. The first was a fourth year student the second was with a peds emergency medicine specialist from the children's hospital. I feel that I got lucky because both interviewers were well matched to my interests.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
