How did you prepare for the interview?

Stayed with a student and met a lot of M1's; talked about the school/curriculum with a lot of students there.

What impressed you positively?

The students are incredibly friendly and fun and no one has anything bad to say about the school even when they are free to be completely honest. I was there for a couple of days in transit from another interview and had a fantastic time. The school really encourages the students to spend time doing what they like in addition to studying. There is a very nice community feel to the school - very little competition, a lot of cooperation.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That med students have time to live outside of med school.

What are your general comments?

Great time - two interviewers at once which was a little confusing because one was a med student and one was an older doctor. They had looked at my file but not too extensively I don't think. It was very conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
