What impressed you negatively?

"The Dean assured us that we would not be given stress interviews.... in retrospect, I should have mentioned someting to that effect afterwards, but aside from sounding like I was completely sedated in getting over the initial shock of it, I answered her questions honestly,..... knowing that my interviewer didn't sit on the commitee, and that my student interview went so well, I didn't really think it was as necessary. Just be prepared for your interviewer to ask those age-old "Why do you want to be a doctor...?" questions.... oh well." Report Response
