student doctor network, mymedline, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

the medical students were very enthusiastic when they spoke with us and told us the real deal with the school

What impressed you negatively?

That one of my interviewers didn't show up, thus there were only 2 of them and there was another room of interviews going on with 4 interviewers...It didn't seemed equal/fair. They didn't seem to know alot about the other campuses.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

All they have is your personal statement and they said that the rest of the AMCAs had been prescreened. (ie. they assume everyone is equal at the interview point).

What are your general comments?

It was pretty laid back and lunch was decent. Pretty painless interview, mostly questions from my personal statement and some how I would react questions. So know your personal statement well and know what parts of it you can use to bring out your characteristics. The overview of the school they give answered alot of my questions as well. They also give you a catalog that tells all about the school when you get there. If you interview later in the day there is a decent amount of downtime.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
