How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed the information available on the school website, reviewed my application, and tried to read up on my interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

The clinical facilities (LeBonheur and St. Jude in particular) were fantastic. Both of my interviewers were very welcoming and knowledgable about the school. The school seems to be working to increase their research presence, which at least to me, was exciting to see.

What impressed you negatively?

Might have just been the given day, but our student guides seemed a little less collaborative than I would have preferred (all studied by themselves exclusively and kind of gave off a cliquey vibe). However, our MS3 and MS4 tour guides all seemed the opposite (super friendly, very collaborative), so I'm thinking it was more of random chance and the students being new to giving tours than indicative of the culture of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

One question, which unfortunately would make me personally identifiable and thus I can't share, caught me off guard (as in I was under the impression it was not something I could expect to be asked about) and wish I could have been more prepared to talk about said topic.

What are your general comments?

I applied mainly because it was my state school and local, but having the chance to see the facilities and meet the faculty members and students definitely has made this school one of my top choices.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It was overall a great experience and I am very glad I had the chance to interview here.
