How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor network, MSAR 2004-05, personal statement, supplemantary essay, talking to current students, handbook from school.

What impressed you positively?

the campus was very impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

the medical students were not as friendly as i'd expected. But, many of my fellow-interviewers were quite nice and easy to talk to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

try to schedule your interviews when the first year med students DON'T have exams. They're are not approachable or conversational under stress.

What are your general comments?

I had heard a lot about how friendly and laid back the students were, but I did not really get that impression. Perhaps my interview was just poorly timed (they had an anatomy exam that day)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
