How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, prospectus, read my essays (all 50) for the school, read research I had done, read everything in the history of human kind. Practiced interviews, etc

What impressed you positively?

Curriculum. Fast. Rigorous. Open. Early patient contact (second year clerkships). Great reputation. Great student aid. THE SOUTH! This was a major one. This was the only school I applied to in the South. Little does Duke know what a major draw that is to us southerners.

What impressed you negatively?

Stress level of the school. There is an AOA here; and I would have to study my tush off indefinitely.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Rapid interviews mean you can't get any sense for the faculty whatsoever.

What are your general comments?

Great!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
