How did you prepare for the interview?

read this website, read my application, talked to current students

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the facilities, the Dean's speech in the beginning, the tour, above all the happiness of the students

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the lunch wasn't very satisfying, I had to wait about an hour and a half between interviews, the amount of early clinical experience

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the wait might be long between the two interviews, and it's very easy to lose steam and concentration in that time.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was impressed by almost everything at Cornell, especially the students' attitudes toward the school and the international opportunities that everyone gets. All-in-all it was a very well-organized day and I was very happy with almost everything I saw. I was surprised by the friendly atmosphere, even among the other interviewees. Cornell has everything I want, except adequate clinical experience. It starts in the first week of school, but they mostly shadow doctors and don't get many opportunities to do things themselves. They thought it was exciting that they sometimes get to give flu shots, which I don't think is that big a deal.
