What was the most interesting question?

Judging from your recommendation letters, You seem to have an obssessive compulsive personality, how do you think this will affect your ability as a student? I don't actually have OCD, but I am borderline anal-retentive. I actually laughed at this and responeded with my comment that I am merely structured and organized, and it simply depends on your perspective. I had them laughing at my answer, and I was accepted, so I guess it wasn't a bad answer after all.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I printed out all of the questions from this website (I guess this reinforces my interviewers observations of my so-called-OCD)! I read an ethics book and discussed questions with fellow applicants (not at the interview, but just general conversations on ethical topics). It helps to hear other people's opinions on ethical dilemmas.

What impressed you positively?

The students were all very friendly. I even had a student join our group for lunch and volunteer to answer any questions I had, not to mention, he was cute too :) ! The genesis curriculum sounds great, but a final for each system that's worth 70% of your grade is abominable compared to how other schools weight your exams! Problem-based learning seems like a good idea since it exposes students how to think like physicians from day one as opposed to doctorate students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The above part on the genesis curriculum.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The classes are rather large, and unfortunately, they break up many labs according to alphabetical order, so if your letter of the alphabet has a bunch of difficult people, you will be forced to work with these people for labs because they section everyone according to the last name of the alphabet. This is because the class size is extremely large. A random selection of students for a lab, instead of A-D, E-H, etc... will probably result in a better mix of individuals (I think, but then again, I never took statistics and the probability of randomness).
