How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site. Practiced standard questions, almost all of which I was asked.

What impressed you positively?

New hospital is nice. Facilities seem adequate. Of course, its in a great part of DC.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition. Students didn't seem scholarly at all. When asked about research opportunities at school, students say "we are close to the NIH". I wish there was more opportunity for research. Integrated learning center, while unique, seemed excessive.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Its truly low stress. Don't sweat it.

What are your general comments?

Brief tour of school and hospital followed by lunch. Then two interviews. Didn't take longer than 3.5 hours.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
