How did you prepare for the interview?

What impressed you positively?

"The students seemed pretty laid back. The lunch was surprisingly tasty. How the anatomy lab is set up." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The facilities. How poor the directions given to me to the school and admissions office were. How the students seemed rather indifferent about AMC." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Not much. The only surprising thing I learned was about the Anatomy Lab. Students learn about a particular organ system in class and then dissect that organ system in lab. Makes sense, but hopefully there's something to tie everything together." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall, a negative experience, but I don't think that reflects the school very much. I had trouble finding the Admissions Office, so give yourself time (and no one who works there seems to know where it is either). My first interviewer should not have been evaluating me because he/she forgot everything I said, asked me the same question 3 times (multiple times), interrupted me constantly (wasn't listening to my answers), and in general was just too old to comprehend anything. He/she asked the typical ethical questions like abortion, and after I responded, had to clarify by saying "So, you are pro-choice?" There is a difference between how you would handle a situation in your own life and how you would handle the same situation with a patient. I'm extremely disappointed that they are still allowing this individual to have a say in who attends AMC. The 2nd interviewer was even worse, although seemed more "with it." He/she didn't seem to care at all about my application and only asked a few questions about me as a formality. He/she only seemed to be interested in discussing topics like the one I mentioned in the "most interested/difficult question." I have no idea how our conversation helped her to evaluate me as a hopeful medical student. However, I don't think my experience interviewing actually reflects the medical school." Report Response
