"That I didn't get in :(. One of the MMI questions/instructions wasn't clear, and I may have been dinged (as I didn't know it was not clear until 1/2 way through my answer). But there were 9 other stations, so that shouldn't have mattered. Nevertheless, I didn't get it. The 'Meet the Dean' section of the interview was a surprise. It was unclear what this was going to be about. I was under the impression that the Dean would show up to the large group of interviewees and say "hi". Instead, it was more of an interview with a small group. I was the first to answer the question "Tell me about yourself". I spent 30 sec - 1 minute, as it was unclear how long or what we were supposed to answer. All others spent 5-10 minutes. I felt I was short-changed as I was first to answer, and I did not know what the purpose of the question was. I thought it was just an introductory question. I had no idea we were to spend 45 minutes with him. I thought it was going to be a 5 minute discussion in total. It would have been nice to know how to prepare for this." Report Response
"Parking/directions. Better coordination on clinic "tour". I signed up for it and then was treated as I was asking too much to be there. It was unclear why an offer was extended, but the people at the clinic didn't know about the offer." Report Response
"I loved the school and the interview. I felt that I was a good match to the school and geographic area (I will be a rural family practice physician). I felt that I did very well on the interview. Therefore, it came as a shock that I didn't get in." Report Response

"The finanical aid office was very rude. I asked a question in an email - I got a single response back which was "Yes." With no other explanations. I understand they must get the question over and over again - but it is their job, and they should get polite people to work in their office, if they want their school to be represented well. We only got information about the interview < 1 week prior to the interview, but several things (visits to clinics, stay with medical students) required 1 week prior notice. Further, the visits to clinic option was poorly organized. The parking/directions map was missing from the slide show (empty placeholder), which was sent to interviewees (and an email request for the map/directions was not returned). They required using a cumbersome message web portal for communication. The web portal didn't work on mobile devices. Why not just use email? This is what email was invented for." Report Response
