How did you prepare for the interview?

"Read a book on med school interviews and made a mock interview from it to practice with my father. Wrote out quality questions to ask before the interview" Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The interviewers made me feel very comfortable and seemed to genuinely enjoy our conversation. Everyone seemed very cheerful and excited to talk about the program. The standardized patient encounter was actually pretty fun and I think it gives better information to admissions than an MMI would." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The medical school facilities are somewhat spread out and ugly, but I don't think it would get in the way of learning. Our group was rushed through the 1-on-1 student interviews to meet a deadline yet we had plenty of "empty" time later." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The interview day starts at breakneck speed getting through everything but eventually calms down and settles. I had one of the first interview dates though so this may have improved since." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"So much of the interview day seemed to be getting a "vibe" of each applicant rather than trying to grill them or put them under pressure. I felt like the program really tries to avoid admitting gunners and wants to make sure you'd be pleasant to have around as a fellow student." Report Response
