How did you prepare for the interview?

UMDNJ website, SDN, looked over AMCAS application, read books about prominent healthcare issues, emerging medical technologies and ethical problems, focused on understanding issues relating to the indigent (NJMS is really big on serving the Newark population)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I was incredibly impressed with the clinical training of the school. Particularly, a strong pro, for me, was that students got early clinical exposure by working in the student-run clinic. Also, the students and faculty are very friendly. Students appeared to be very happy there. NJMS seemed very student-oriented. The quality of residency matches were also impressive. I also liked the school's mission to serve the indigent and the Newark community.
