How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, accessed University of Washington's bioethics website, browsed several ethics books (including opposing viewpoints series), brushed up on current events, practiced answering questions aloud, read materials they sent me prior to interview

What impressed you positively?

Nearly everything!! The students were soo friendly, and the admissions staff was awesome! The facilites are superb and everyone seems genuinely satisfied with their Loyola experience. It's obvious that Loyola makes an effort to cultivate a "family" atmosphere among their students, and it seems to alleviate some of the stress equated with med school - I've never seen so many happy-go-lucky students so close to finals!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition (ouch) - though I think it'd be worth it! - and I wish we could have seen the library (though our tour guide warned us it's not a focal point)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Maywood really isn't as bad as everyone makes it seem. I actually found it comforting after the shock of the big city nearby (I'm a smalltown girl myself)

What are your general comments?

This school is far and away my top choice! I felt so comfortable there, and I can see myself thriving in the environment - it seems Loyola has invested a lot to establish such a student-friendly atmosphere. The curriculum seems to be a nice mix of lecture and small group (I like variety) and the technological resources seem very advanced compared to other schools I've seen. The fitness facility - well, it's worth writing home about. My interviews went well (I think). My first interview was very conversational - my interviewer made me feel so welcome, and she essentially sold the school to me. My second interviewer was quite a bit tougher, and he was a stickler with the ethics questions. After the interview though, I got to see a bit of what he does as an interventional cardiologist in the heart cath lab, so that was worth sweating out the 50 minutes prior:) He was very nice though, and obviously very intelligent. All in all, this experience was great! I also liked interviewing with only one other applicant - it made it easier to ask questions of the tour guide, and I felt more engaged the whole day than I have in other interviews I've been on. If you haven't given Loyola serious consideration yet, an interview experience is likely to change your mind!!
