How did you prepare for the interview?

School catalog, website, reviewed my AMCAS and secondary. Talked to current medical studetns.

What impressed you positively?

People: students, factuly and staff all seemed to be very happy and excited about being at Pitt. Simulation lab was amazing! Curriculum: how PBL works, grading and block system. Many hospitals right next to the medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition is ~ $ 36,000 for the out-of-state, but I think it's worth it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How casual and fun all the interviewers were.

What are your general comments?

The school seems to take a really good care of medical students, providing enough support system, encouraging them to have life outside the school. All my interviewers were truly interested in getting to know who I am as a person. Lunch with 3rd-year students were informative.
