How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my application, mock interviews, SDN, and the school website

What impressed you positively?

The medical students who gave us the tour were great. They were honest about their opinions and were very knowledgeable. Although the school isn't in the best area, the neighborhood is actually an asset because students are able to see interesting cases. The school provides excellent clinical experience and has a nice Children's Hospital. The school is working hard to improve and be taken off probation.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are rather old. Student housing is not close. The area is scary at night. Lack of diversity.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Although the questions asked were not difficult, the interviewer was not friendly which made me nervous. The medical student tours really made the interview experience a lot better.
