"The second interviewer asked a lot about my research publications and my application folder, why I had received C's in a couple classes, etc. However, he wasn't tearing me apart, rather figuring out if I had valid reasons.

"The interview was by far my most positive of the four schools I've interviewed with thus far. The students are all very nice, very down to earth, and extremely helpful. Harvard treast their students very well, providing excellent housing, and a program that is second to none. My interview was with the dean of Admissions, and was very positive. We talked for over an hour, mostly about books, life, etc. I think we both got to know eachother very well, and ir was an extremely pleasurable experience.

"Parking. The garage was $32 a day. If you drive to Boston, my advice is to park at a T stop (Boston's Metro, and take a train into the Medical Campus." Report Response

"Excellent. The second interviewer was at another location and I had to take a shuttle, but this was good because I not only saw the longwood campus where HMS is located, but also other hospitals related to the school. No other medical schools pays so much attention to their students and applicants. I stayed with a first year student in the dorms of Vanderbuilt Hall, whcih is directly across the street from HMS, and advise everyone to take advantage of that opportunity." Report Response
