What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The parking structure they tell you to park in for your interview has an unmarked employee entrance, and a (more distant, and not visible) visitor entrance. If you go to the employee entrance (as I did), you won't be allowed into the structure. Also, last year they interviewed 575 people for 300 acceptances, so if you're this close, you have a good shot." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Two separate interviews, both with practicing docs in their respective offices. Both read over my essays beforehand, and had a list of questions prepared. The questions were fairly standard, though Loyola will almost assuredly ask you several ethics-based "what would you do if..." questions, as well as your opinion on the future of health care in the US."
