How did you prepare for the interview?

read the viewbook, reviewed my application, check out this website, tried to keep up to date with current controversial issues in medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly. I stayed with a student host and actually went to dinner with 25 other first year students to celebrate someone's birthday. The students seemed very social and have lives outside of school. The pbl rooms are also very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was pretty short and the school is not very large. We also did not get to see much of the hospital system.
