What's the biggest problem facing health care in America?
What was the most interesting question?
Have you seen the museum in Bilbao? (we were talking about studying abroad in Spain)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read AMCAS, read their website a few times, looked up some websites on current issues in health care (they do ask this).
What was the most difficult question?
What other schools that you are applying to are PBL (Problem based learning) format? (I couldn't remember of the 16 which were which really, but I wasn't picking for that specifically, so the interviewer seemed okay with it).
What impressed you positively?
Students really like it there and love the PBL format for the most part. Interviewers were very easy to talk to.
What impressed you negatively?
They need to give us lunch, I drove hours and was starving. Tour should have included at least a view of the hospital where the clinical stuff all happens, we just sort of walked down a hallway nearby....
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Thier USMLE scores jumped bigtime after they put in the PBL format.
