How did you prepare for the interview?

nothing...I had several before this, so I had nearly memorized my personal statement by then

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I went in expecting them to be pretentious and lacking in academics (new pathway at least), but I was impressed with the students. Each one has a unique background and has a genuine desire to make a difference and become a leader of medicine.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of academic focus. The research is unparalleled, but the quality of the academics in the new pathway MD program curriculum was low when compared to other schools.

What are your general comments?

We started out by meeting in the library and hearing a talk by the dean of admissions. We then had time to walk around and get to know each other and some of the students. We also had lunch and a tour. Then I had two interviews in the afternoon...one hour each. They were a lot of fun, much more so than at any other school. The first one was a student...he just wanted to know about my background. The second one was a faculty member who wanted to talk about politics.
