"Very little in-class time. A lot of hands-on clinical experiences and patient contact within weeks of starting the program. College is central to the town's healtcare setup. Everyone was highly courteous and geneorus with their time. Did not feel rushed. Interviewers were very open and candidly discussed the negative points of the university. The entire campus is wireless, all lectures are available online, and printouts are free!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"everyone was really friendly, students seemed genuinely happy with the school and the curriculum, big emphasis on humanistic medicine, early early early clinical experience, NO SCUT WORK! :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I really liked that I met with a financial aid officer individually. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour guide was really friendly and positive about the school. She was able to really sell the benefits of case-based learning and the school's locales. Also, the school seems to try to pair you with an interviewer in the area(s) of medicine you are interested." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was originally somewhat concerned about the very strong emphasis on PBL, but after seeing the facilities and how they ensured training was not haphazard (through excellent organization of course subject matter) I feel I would get a better education than at some of the schools still following a relatively traditional lecture format. Also, they really value student input on program format utilizing it to improve." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school seemed nice, all the students seemed friendly and to love the school. I got the feeling the school was like a big family." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviewers showed me SIU's latest Step 2 results, which were well above the national average. I really liked the situational-type questions that one of my interviewers asked. They were thought-provoking and, I think, really helped him better understand my problem solving process and skills--and helped him gauge my ethical/moral compass. Both of my interviewers (one was on the admissions committee) made comments along the lines of "I've been in your chair, so I'm here to make it easy for you and try to help you get into medical school". So even though some of the questions were tough, there wasn't an adversarial feeling to them." More from this Member | Report Response

"not much" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"1/2 interviews was very interrogative and seemed as if they did not have much time to speak with me" More from this Member | Report Response

"I interviewed with a female internist for one of my interviews. She seemed very disinterested and like she did not care one bit of what I had to say from the very beginning. She asked me questions that were not relevant to my desire to pursue a career as a physician or to me as an individual. Not very friendly and was a very awkward experience. Hope you guys don't get her for an interviewer." More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt attacked by the AdCom member interviewer. It's like he was very turned off about where I came from and nothing I said would impress him." More from this Member | Report Response

"Facilities are somewhat old" More from this Member | Report Response

"Dreary day." More from this Member | Report Response

"I don't like that the first year is in Carbondale and the next three in Springfield. I would prefer to do all four in Springfield, but that doesn't seem to be something the school is even considering." More from this Member | Report Response

"Being in a different city for the first year" More from this Member | Report Response

"There may be up to 8 people to a cadavre (sp) and 4 at a time disecting. Seems like it'd be too many cooks in the kitchen for that. ALSO-- make sure you cut off your first interview after about 30-35 mins, because mine went from 9am-9:55, which didn't give me nearly enough time to get to my car, drive to the next interview, find a space in the parking garage, and then find the interview room, especially because once I made it to the building of my 2nd interview, I was told by the information desk that the room didn't exist! Uggg-- I was really late and I think that SIU admissions should do a better job of coordinating the transport/directions/timing." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing, really." More from this Member | Report Response

"The campus is outdated and the surrounding area/hospitals are not impressive." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield is not like I remembered it. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing...but again I'm somewhat biased because I grew up in Carbondale and so had done a lot of research about the school and am very familiar with both campuses." More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour was short, but maybe that's because there's not much to see!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The second interviewer was late." More from this Member | Report Response

"buildings are kind of drab, first year is in Carbondale" More from this Member | Report Response

"Not much to do around campus. Downtown Sprinfield is growing but is far from offering the urban experiences of even a medium sized town in the midwest." More from this Member | Report Response

"the building was kind of drab and depressing, the area around springfield in general is boring. also, the first year is spent in carbondale..." More from this Member | Report Response

"The location of the school in Springfield negatively impressed me. The city is small and it looks like there isn't much to do there. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield as a town. The facilities seem a bit oudated in parts. Library looked somewhat bleak." More from this Member | Report Response

"The disorganization of the day. The admissions staff was very helpful and kind while I was there for the financial aid session and tour, but I was on my own to find my interviewers and their offices." More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interviewer didn't seem very interested in me.She hardly looked at me, instead she was making notes while I answered her questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities are not somewhat lacking, and living in carbondale for the first year seems to cut of M1's from the rest of the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I did not get to see very much on my campus tour." More from this Member | Report Response

"My second interviewer hadn't read my file. I wish I had known this in the beginning of the interview and adjusted my responses accordingly. Also, my first interviewer was pretty reserved, and it was hard to tell if she was excited about interviewing, medicine, me, or anything!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The second interviewer didn't know I was coming. He hadn't looked over my application info and only spent about 25 minutes with me before leaving for surgery; he asked a lot of questions that I had already answered in my applications. " More from this Member | Report Response

"conduct of interviewers, Springfield/Carbondale" More from this Member | Report Response

"Only that there is no true lecture or textbook." More from this Member | Report Response

"The second interviewer seemed to grill me on my opinion of a social issue, and seemed to be pushing me towards the solution he felt was correct." More from this Member | Report Response

"I just can't shake the feeling that SIU is a wee bit "po-dunky"--and Springfield is certainly nothing to write home about. Also, the student who gave the tour kept making disparaging remarks about other schools and how "they just throw you into the deep end--while at SIU, the faculty really cares". Of course, on further questioning, it turned out that her opinion was formed by talking with ONE college classmate who was having a bad experience at ONE other med school. Not exactly a broad platform on which to form her opinion. It almost felt like she had been indoctrinated into the whole "PBL" thing--and was trying to convert us too." More from this Member | Report Response

"my first interviewer was fifteen minutes late, and she didn't even give me extra time in the end. The schedule was poorly put together, I had nothing to do for two hours and then in the afternoon, there was no time alloted for lunch." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield. Lack of organization. I did not meet any of the other interviewees until the financial talk at 11 am. The school expects you to figure out how to get to where you need to go on your own." More from this Member | Report Response

"It's Springfield. . . no college sports. (everyone can't be the Big 10 though, right?)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Little unorganized.... trouble finding my interviewers... You have to be a VERY self motivated learner at SIU." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were no negative aspects of my visit!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I interviewed in Springfield and there was no orientation meeting. I just went to my first interview, which was in the doctor's office.

"Carbondale, Springfield" More from this Member | Report Response

"Well, I already knew that I hated Carbondale but I was dissapointed to find out the Springfield is not much better." More from this Member | Report Response

"Lack of student housing." More from this Member | Report Response

"The Carbondale deal." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield is a ghost-town at night." More from this Member | Report Response

"An office staff member (unknowledgable, not to mention) gave the tour - that was a letdown. My second interviewer really seemed to want to pursue the possibilities for me if I did not get into medical school - this was discouraging." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield. I am not sure I could live there." More from this Member | Report Response

"The tour wasn't given by a student so it was difficult to get opportunities to ask questions of current med. students there." More from this Member | Report Response

"I did not get to talk to any students due to scheduling reasons and one of my interviewers didn't seem very interestd in talking to me and neither had much interaction with students." More from this Member | Report Response

"first year at carbondale (as i've since found out, the housing there pretty much sucks. a lot of it is old and run down. undergrads seem to get the best first cause med students find out so late.)" More from this Member | Report Response

"First year spend at Carbondale." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the new PBL is untested, ie. would like to see the Step 1 scores from a couple of classes first. But I think the PBL is the right direction, even if it needs a little tuning." More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"My interview was going to be more of a conversation than an interrogation." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the interviews aren't that stressful." More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I had a better answer for how I heard about the school. I answered honestly (MSAR->State School->PBL=excited), but I could have sworn I saw a little disappointment with my answer. He seemed excited about all my other answers." More from this Member | Report Response

"That being from Chicago apparently works against me. Had I known this, I probably wouldn't have attended the interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt prepared." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing. I thought that the interview materials SIU sent were very clear and I followed those directions without any problems. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were going to be more like conversations than pressure-filled sessions. I enjoyed talking with both of my interviewers." More from this Member | Report Response

"That I would like SIU so much!" More from this Member | Report Response

"That I was the only student interviewing that day. It was really nice to have lots of one on one time with everyone I met, though." More from this Member | Report Response

"The building where the admissions office is located is very confusing. Also, the groups of students are very small (we had 4 total)." More from this Member | Report Response

"The map they send with your interview packet is on a really small scale, which I didn't realize. Because of my carelessness, I thought that the buildings were mainly within walking distance, so I parked at the main building and put 5 hours worth of quarters in the meter. Turns out, I was only going to be at that building for 15 mins... waste of money. Be sure you have your own form of transportation to get you to and from the interviews. Mine (and those of the other applicant) were both in outlaying buildings." More from this Member | Report Response

"Parking. I didn't have time to scout out the night before." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not to stress out too much. It was my first med school interview so I over-prepared but it wasn't nearly as intimidating/difficult as I thought it would be. No weird moral/ethical questions or strange medical questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The way the PBL system works" More from this Member | Report Response

"how cool the students were...i was even having a good time with my fellow interviewees...all of them are ppl i would like to go to school with." More from this Member | Report Response

"Acceptances are given out in three batches. The higher your score is on the AWPA list, the better chance that you will get accepted. They never offer more acceptances at one time than their max class size. So last year, to get a class of 72 they extended a total of 155 acceptances throughout application season, which is about half of those who interviewed." More from this Member | Report Response

"The admissions policy is a little weird. It is non-rolling and you may not know if you are accepted until February." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield is more of a dump than I remember" More from this Member | Report Response

"BRING SOMETHING TO READ. It felt like I had more time in between thigns than anything, bring a book." More from this Member | Report Response

"A previous reviewer commented on SIU's goofy "Accept when place available" (AWPA) system. If you're on this list, you get a letter stating just that. The only trouble is that last year, I found out that SIU had such a strong applicant pool that they didn't even get to the lower-ranked applicants on the AWPA list. As a result, what should have been a straightforward "accept" turned into a "reject". Not cool. So if you get the "AWPA" letter, you're encouraged to write back immediately expressing your unbridled joy at getting a tentative "maybe" and how SIU is your ultimate dream school--and this is somehow supposed to get you on SIU's "nice list". Can you sense the sarcasm? Good. How this ultimately helps your chances--and how it's in ANY way fair--is truly beyond me. Why would anyone want to jump at the first school if they are still interviewing and weighing their potential options? Unclear!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The admissions's office did not help you find the rooms or parking. Get there atleast 30-60 minutes early, becuase the its hard to find parking, the buildings and the rooms. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I'm glad I did a little research about the PBL system. The only questions that could throw you during the interview relate to the PBL system and how you would fit in." More from this Member | Report Response

"That I would be the only interviewer there all day long. " More from this Member | Report Response

"There aren't many choices for lunch. The med student who gave us a tour said no one really eats in the hospital cafeteria b/c it's not healthy and there aren't other places to eat close to the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield is pretty bad...knew that, but being there reminded me!" More from this Member | Report Response

"There's a walkway from the Student Affairs building to the Hospital: you don't have to walk outside in the cold." More from this Member | Report Response

"That it was really laid back, and more of a conversation than an interview. I didn't need to be stressed about preparing." More from this Member | Report Response

"The PBL is so huge " More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish that I would have known more about the PBL based curriculum that they use!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I pretty much knew what to expect from the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The PBL requires that you work in groups with students. I don't really like working in groups. I like to figure things out myself and teach myself." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing, I suppose. The two interviews, which began at consecutive hours, were about a mile and a half apart - I was barely on time for the second. " More from this Member | Report Response

"the first year is at carbondale" More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall a good experience. Medical students just passing by would sit down and talk with us and allow us to ask them questions. I don't believe they were affiliated with the admissions department at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall great interview, relaxed, simple conversation" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great experience" More from this Member | Report Response

"This was a great experience! I'm hoping for an AWPA and an acceptance. I will absolutely attend this school." More from this Member | Report Response

"Springfield is not great; food was good and everyone was super friendly; the school is trying to update and it shows; some interviews can be far away from each other, so you may have to drive/shuttle/walk." More from this Member | Report Response

"SIU seems like a great place to learn. The admin&staff seem genuinely interested in the students and it definitely shows." More from this Member | Report Response

"This seems like a great environment to attend medical school. The students seemed very happy. People would randomly smile at me (noticing that I was interviewing). A couple of MIII's approached me and talked to me about their classes. The school population is really warm and tight-knit." More from this Member | Report Response

"One interviewer is an Admissions Committee member and that interview is open file. The other is a faculty member and it's mostly closed file. Other than my negative experience with the first interviewer, everyone else was incredibly kind and really did their best to sell SIU's positive points. PBL sounds really impressive and the med students seem really happy. Also, Homestyle Inn & Suites is incredibly close to the school and decently priced if you're looking for a motel to stay at."

"No interviews are NO stress, but these are definitely lower stress interviews. Everybody's friendly, and make sure you feel at home. The two one-on-one interviews are very conversational and you rarely get off the wall difficult questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were more of an open discussion than a set list of questions. You will have one with a medical student (open file) and one with a faculty member (closed file). Be prepared for some down time between interviews depending on your schedule; I had an hour to waste and it was raining outside." More from this Member | Report Response

"One open-file interview with an adcom member, one closed-file with a faculty member" More from this Member | Report Response

"Interviews were very low in stress, and it really just felt like I was having conversations with the two interviewers; one interview is open-file and the other is closed file" More from this Member | Report Response

"Some things I like about SIU are as follows: -the small class size -minimal lecture hall hours -the preceptorship that allows students to work with local doctors -the atmosphere at the school because all of the staff and students seemed to know each other by name" More from this Member | Report Response

" The first interview is with a member of the admissions committee. They have an open file interview with you. The second interview is with a faculty member who is not on the admissions committee. They only have basic biographical information and your secondary essays. That interview is more open-ended." More from this Member | Report Response

"All-in-all, pretty stress free interviews, though certainly NOT stress free travel between interviews. The last thing you want to be worrying about during your med school interview day is finding the right building/room or a parking space. I think the interviewers should be given firm time limitations so that we interviewees can make it to the next interview/meeting on-time. I had a really great tour-guide who was willing to take her time to elaborate on her experience in Carbondale and in Springfield about topics ranging from housing to board scores to assesments to research options. Certainly not an interview-day-set-up that people should get nervous about." More from this Member | Report Response

"awesome. i loved it. i had one interview with a faculty member on the admission committee that was open file, and the second with a psychiatrist that was closed file. everyone was very down-to-earth (read: normal) and i left with a very positive impression of the school " More from this Member | Report Response

"Definitely a positive day. Totally chill, got to talk to some second years while waiting and they were very friendly and willing to talk to me. Very nice school." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were 4 interviewers this day. We arrived to a 30-40 minute Q&A session. The group was broken up and sent to their interviews(different interviewers for everyone). They usually schedule you to interview with two faculty members throughout the day. One person is open file and sits on the committee, the other is closed file and they may not be on the committee. In between the interviews there is an option financial aid session and student guided tour." More from this Member | Report Response

"The first interview involved more general, open ended questions (I think this one might have been closed-file, but I'm not sure). The second interview was more geared to finding out about what my specific experiences meant to me (he brought up things from AMCAS and my secondary). Definitely prepare using the SDN feedback questions...a lot of those came up. I interviewed in Carbondale so I got a tour of the main academic building that the M1s use, Lindegren Hall, during the lunch break. Barb took me up to where a few M1s were studying so I got to ask them a few questions and afterwards I had a few minutes with Linda Herrold, the Dean of Student Affairs. No surprises, very relaxed." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very relaxed, comfortable; interviewers were friendly and personable; I almost went over an hour in both my interviews because our conversations became so open and friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a nice interview. I was quite nervous before the interview, but the interviewer was so cooperative and it made me feel so relax during the interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a long day. The tour guide and finanical aid session were very short. The interviews were good. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I came away with a much better impression of SIU. It seemed like a pretty strong school and the students seem to be really happy with it. Also, the PBL doesn't seem as scary now (they have lectures too, but they are supplementary). The cheap tuition is pulling at towards it right now." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were very relaxed and they just wanted to get to know more about what my experiences meant to me. They were extremely well organized and had a very nice financial aid session that was one on one, just like the two interviews. It's a great school and their residents' board scores are up there with the best. They are 100% in-state and competition is tough to get in. Your first year will be in Carbondale and the next three years will be in just the three or four buildings that make up the entire campus in Springfield!!! There is no vibrant community surrounding the campus, so married students may find it hard to do anything worthwhile around town. Springfield is all about the med school and some state legislature buildings! " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I didn't expect much going into the interview, but afterwards I actually became really enthusiastic about the school. It seems like a great place to learn and PBL doesn't seem as scary anymore." More from this Member | Report Response

"This was my first interview experience so I was a little nervous. However, my interviewers put me completely at ease. The med. student who gave the tour was very enthusiastic about the school. Everyone was VERY nice and the faculty know all of the students." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day was very relaxed, almost too relaxed. Everyone was friendly, but I found it uneasy being the only person at the school interviewing that day. I had a lot of free time between my scheduled meetings/interviews, during which I sat in the physician's waiting room with patients as my file was read or the physician was with a patient." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day was pretty standard. Financial aid presentation was somewhat helpful, student tour was average, both interviewers were very friendly and conversational. They were the first school to go in-dept on asking me questions about specific volunteer activities and what I gained from each. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interviewer genuinely wanted to get to know me and spent quite a bit of time answering my questions about PBL and the curriculum. It was very conversational about my application and questions and lasted about an hour. The second interviewer was trying to see how strong my interest in medicine was harsher style of questioning. This one was less conversational, just went through the questions and then I was done - lasted about 15 minutes." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a really good experience, minus the fact I had a lot of time to kill before my interviews because the fin aid session and tour each only took 15 minutes. My interviewers were really personable." More from this Member | Report Response

"I guess it went well because I got in!" More from this Member | Report Response

"There was no organization. Nobody to greet you when you get there, nobody to show you where you are supposed to go, there was NO minority representation whatsoever!!! I had to drive to the location of the second interview because it was on the other side of town." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a great experience at SIU. My first interviewer was very nice, the interview was conversational and she really directed where she wanted me to go with my answers. My second interviewer asked me if I would object to us going to Starbucks and having the interview there. This interview was also very laid back and guided." More from this Member | Report Response

"My interviews, I feel, were rushed.My first interviewer didn't seem too interested in me,the 2nd interview was during the MD's clinic hours so he was in a hurry.I left feeling they didn't really get to know me." More from this Member | Report Response

"the first interview went well. The interviewer was an orthopedic surgeon and knowledgeable about the school, although the questions were standard and at one point i was sure he was extending the interview for the sole purpose of avoiding work. The fin. aid session was only slightly informative, but it at least seems SIU takes an active interest in making sure its students are afloat financially. The tour was short, but the enthusiastic tour guide did a good job of playing up the school as probably the best thing this side of the mississippi. the second interview was strangely like the first, except i was tired hungry (be sure to pack a lunch/ find a good place to eat). " More from this Member | Report Response

"I thought my first interviewer did a great job of making everything seem very positive at SIU. She really talked up PBL, the simulated patients, and the early clinical experience. I did not get a very good tour of the campus. I saw one of their tutor rooms, the library, and the medical museum. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The first interviewer was great! Such a neat person and very honest about some of the less impressive aspects of the school, as well as the positives. He put me at ease, and even looked into what schools would suit my boyfriend's needs if we were to relocate to Springfield for 3 years. I just mentioned his educational goals, and my interviewer started to research what was available during my interview! I was really impressed by this unexpected assistance."

"excellent experience. relaxed interview. interviews were in a few different buildings so arrive with enough time to orient yourself with the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews and tour were great. There were 2 interviews: the first was with the student representative of the admissions committee and the second was with a faculty member. The first interviewer was very well-versed with my application file and asked some of the best and most appropriate questions I have come across yet in my interview experience. The second interviewer was very friendly and I feel that he helped me to learn a great deal about the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"arrived at 10:30, interview at 11am (45 mins w/ admissions director. she asked a detailed list of questions) tour with 2nd year student at 12, break for 40 minutes. interview at 1:30 with faculty member. she asked informal questions about personality related items. lasted 30 minutes. went home." More from this Member | Report Response

"My experience at SIU was kind of strange. My first interviewer wasn't even there and the school never bothered to call or email and tell me that. Instead they let me find out when I showed up at the guys door for the interview. Then, somewhat embarrased, they looked for someone else to interview me right there on the spot. The people looking for an interviewer didn't even know what I was supposed to be interviewing for (they asked a few minutes later). Eventually, they found a doctor to interview me and three minutes after the interview started, he said he had all the information he needed despite the fact that it was a completely closed interview. The rest of the day went much smoother and the second interview, which was an open interview went pretty well. I really enjoyed talking with my second interviewer. Overall, despite the lack or organization, I really enjoyed the SIU interview experience." More from this Member | Report Response

"What positively impressed me about the school (see below) was virtually annihilated by the way the interviews were handled. Perhaps there was a sudden shortage, but I wasn’t able to speak with one physician. I spoke first with a Ph.D. who seemed surprised that he was responsible for interviewing me. He then asked me the standard series of questions (why medicine, etc.). About 15 minutes later, he gets a cell phone call and showed me the door, not giving me a chance to ask questions (not that he could answer them). After a lousy lunch, a tour of the facility given by an M2 was the highlight of the day. I also got some good info on applying for loans. The second interviewer was a social worker who made a point of telling me I was "low priority" because I live in Chicago. Overall, I felt the entire day had been a scheduled waste of time, compliments of SIU. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviewers were very nice, not stressful at all. My first interviewer had a list of questions that he asked and we talked a little in between some of them. The second interviewer had questions as well, but he didn't really ask them. He pretty much said that he just wanted to talk instead of ask the questions. He was extremely easygoing, and joked around a little, which made the interview a lot less stressful." More from this Member | Report Response

"All-in-all school seeemed very intimate, students seeemed to like it and one another, only bad thing was my second interviewer was confrontational, be ready for this." More from this Member | Report Response

"Ehh--I'd go here if I didn't get accepted anywhere else. It's just not very diverse (I waited in the main lobby of the medical center and didn't see many non-Caucasian faces), and they're so gung-ho on getting folks from central and southern IL that it's sort of a turn-off (I live in Chicago--but I'm from a rural area in another state). I just think it's rather misguided to assume that rural folk are automatically going to return to their rural communities to practice." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had two interviewers, the first interview was 15 min, the second was about 30 min. There was a tour of the school and a lecture on financial aid in between my interviews. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Bring something to read and eat, because you will have a little down time b/t interviews. This is a comprehensive but no-frills interview process. You will have to find your way to your interview rooms (unless you are lucky enough to have a student take you), there is no breakfast/lunch set up for you and you are pretty much on your own...but this all probably goes hand in hand with being a self directed learner, which they stress. The interviews are relaxed and stress free. Both of my interviews, one with a student and another with a faculty member who was also an alumni, were more of a casual conversation where they tried to get to know me on a more personal level. They did their best to put me at ease and make me feel comfortable. I stayed at the Best Inn, located 3 blocks from the school. You can go to orbitz and reserve a room for $32...it is not a high class hotel, but it definatley works if you don't want to spend a lot of money." More from this Member | Report Response

"Ok, but I had to sit and wait awhile in between interviews, tours, and financial aid stuff." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the interview day went well. My first interviewer asked questions that were all on my AMCAS app. That annoyed me a little. He asked about my high school, about my parents, and how I was raised. Also, he was very honest with how my application looks and how the committee would view it. He made suggestions for a plan B in case it comes to that. The second interviewer was really rushed and he didn't seem to care much what I said. In fact, his beeper went off in the middle of the interview, right when I was talking about a really sensitive issue, and he returned the call without letting me finish my answer. That sucked. The financial aid session was very informative - they talked about financial aid as it would apply to any school we would go to, not just SIU. " More from this Member | Report Response

"two separate interviews with MDs in the AM and PM with a tour in between. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Super laid-back, I had FUN at both the interviews, students seem to love the school" More from this Member | Report Response

"The first interview was more serious, but more general questions. He got really specific with the health care system, gene therapy, and kept testing how much i knew about SIU. I liked the fact that he asked about how i studied for the MCATS and he really tried to find out about how i work as a student. The second interview was very laid back and informal and he basically worked off of my application." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was really surprised about both interviewing sessions, because they were more like conversations. I showed up 20 minutes early to my first interview, and he had me come in and we started the interview early. We ended up talking until the financial aid session for a total interview time of about 65 minutes. He was awesome and very friendly. The second interviewer was kind of boring. I was also sitting on the world's most uncomfortable and tall chair, so I was fidgeting the entire time. He didn't have a lot to say, so the interview was kind of boring and harder to do. It was still more conversational than question and answer of many interviews." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview was good. The school is a perfect fit for me. After the interview I received a letter that said my status is "Accept When Place Available". It's taken 3 phone calls to the admissions office at the SIU SOM to understand their complex applicant ranking system and acceptance schedule. Here's what I understand (and I may be wrong): In 2003 SIU SOM will accept 73 students. First, on OCT 26 the admissions committee met to accept any applicant enrolled in SIU's special MedPrep program (where they train up their med students from toddler age to acceptance date), and/or any accepted but deferred students from the previous year (you know, they got accepted, but couldnt go for another year . . . yeah right!). This was a total of 3 people (70 more to go). Then, everybody else goes into 1 of 4 categories: 1. Accept when place available: accepted in batches of 20 in November, January, March. Each AWPA student is ranked within this group and applicants are accepted by rank. 2 & 3. They have two alternate categories below AWPA. I dont get it. Surely I'm wrong. But, the lady at the admissions ofc. said otherwise. 4. The "No Thanks" category is self explanatory." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, the curricular design is very much based on self-directed learning. A good deal of technology is involved and used in both group and pbl. I liked the school (although there are definately few frills compared to other schools, but as one student said the positive of that is that you don't increase your debt to study somewhere "pretty" either), but was a little disappointed with one of my interviews. It was my first at the school...the guy showed up late and then only talked to me for 20 minutes. Nice guy, but seemed to have had me sized up based on my app. It was all positive, but a little different than any other interview I've experienced and somewhat frustrating." More from this Member | Report Response

"Before the interview, I was only midly attracted to the school, but the people (students / faculty) made the whole thing look really appealing. If any of you are fortunate enough to interview with Dr. Quinn, relax and enjoy it, she's fantastic. My interview with her lasted half an hour longer than scheduled." More from this Member | Report Response

"Financial aid meeting, student tour, and two interviews. It was a fun day, and being that it was halloween the atmosphere was very light-hearted. My first interview was with a PhD in immunology. He asked me questions about my application and we had a fun conversation. The second interview was with an MD. She was very nice as well, although we didn't get as much time to talk because she was in a hurry to go get her kids' costumes ready for Halloween!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very good day. Both my interviewerws wanted to get to know me and were friendly, but still asked all the important questions. I had one PHD and one MD interviewer. Student tour was helpful and the student seem to love the curriculum." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall my interviews were very easy-going and I had a great time meeting the faculty and students at the Springfield Campus!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The good was that it was not stressful in the least. The bad was that it wasn't very organized. It seemed like the first interviewer was not experienced in conducting interviews. The second lady (after asking me to tell her about myself) told me that it was closed file interview and half way through my answer told me it was actually an open file interview. In addition to that, I was the only prospective that day, and I didn't get to eat lunch or spend any real amount of time with current students which makes it hard to size a school up. " More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interview was closed file and I did not realize it until my second interviewer told me. The first interviewer had two pages front and back of questions to ask me with lots of ethics questions. She tried to make the interview conversational, but she kept going back to her list of questions. She also kept writing down things while I was talking which was a bit unnerving. The second interview was laid back and conversational. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall good. The interviewers were very nice. The school is in a safe location with the cheapest housing and cheapest price you'll find in Illinois." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviews were very laid back. The first doctor talked more about my application and motives while the second one just talked to me about med schools and Southern IL in general." More from this Member | Report Response

"Again, a pretty run-of-the-mill set of interviews. Nothing political or difficult is involved, but they do try and stress YOUR reasons for joining the field of medicine. The two sessions felt much more like a couple of conversations rather than a list of questions. Don't lose sleep over these." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I was very impressed with the school. Everyone did an excellent job at making me feel at home and selling the school. PBL seems to be an effective way of learning and I was able to express how I felt I would be able to thrive in that type of cooperative environment. The key is to be yourself because they ask a million questions about YOU (they want to know YOU!)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Don't sell SIU short just because its in Southern Illinois. Its really an excellent school if you're a self-disciplined individual." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviewers were nice and straightforward. The facility wasn't to-die-for, but meeting students and talking to them, plus seeing the hospitals, convinced me that SIU is a great school." More from this Member | Report Response

"All the interview questions were based on my application. The student's happiness was incedible! that really made the difference for me. Overall, if the school was located closer to a city, I would go there in a heartbeat!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a really nice day visiting the school and with my interviewers. The 1st interview was more traditional and asked questions like: why medicine, would you want to practice in a rural setting, why not another profession in the medical field other than a doctor, what do you do to relax. The 2nd interview was more laid back and we just talked about having a family and practicing medicine and about ethical issues. " More from this Member | Report Response
