What impressed you positively?

"The students seemed to like their medical experience so far....although sometimes it seemed a bit too neutral for my liking." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"They tried to make you nervous before the interviews...telling us how they go about selecting people. They then talk about how if you are out of state, your chances are not very good...it just seemed to cast things in a very negative light right prior to the interview, which wasn't cool." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I had heard about the new fitzsimmons campus, but it isn't looking anything close to complete, so the 2005 entering class probably won't be enjoying it until later on. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"There were two interviews. The first one was pretty straightforward...asking questions form my AMCAS essay and experiences. KNOW YOUR AMCAS APPLICATION FOR THIS INTERVIEW!!!! The second one was a bit more difficult, the guy kept on screwing up my research projects and mixing up my experiences with someone elses. That didn't feel very good." Report Response
