"I read my essays. Although the interview was closed-file, the interviewers did have the essays (AMCAS and secondary that I wrote). I also read SDN and outlined some answers to typical med school interview questions." Report Response
"They gave us a lot of information and the stdent guides stayed with us as we waited for our interviews to answer questions and describe their experiences. The interviewers tried to make me comfortable." Report Response
"I interviewed at Peoria (and I'd like to attend the Chicago campus) so the facilities were pretty small. The students indicated that the Peoria curriculum is the most lecture-intensive of any of the UI sites. Lectures 8am-4pm for M1 and M2." Report Response
"The interviewers and guides would be from Peoria and not have too much information on the other sites. I figured they would be from Peoria but it was frustrating to get answers like, ''I can't really speak for how it is in Chicago/Rockford....''" Report Response
"It was a 25 minute interview with myself, 2 doctors/professors and a 3rd year medical student. The doctors asked questions regarding professionalism in medicine and problems facing health care while the student asked about my hobbies and some experiences I mentioned in my essay. The interview would have been much more stressful if not for the med school student asking the lighter questions and making me more comfortable. The doctors weren't mean or intimidating; they just asked more serious questions and weren't as conversational." Report Response
