"I did not prepare because I did not want my answers to sound contrived." Report Response
"The thoughtfulness that the staff puts in to the teaching process. They have maximized the students ability to learn and enjoy the medical school by blending problem-based learning with a complete education of the basic sciences. They have invested in a number of institutes and technology for conveyance of knowledge. If you are interested in researching an idea, several students mentioned that the faculty will bend over backwards to get funding and support for your project. I had previously thought that a small town could hardly present a variety of cases to prepare you for residency, but the numerous facilities make exposure to a large variety of cases possible."

"My first interview was with Dr. Gravenstein. He was exemplary and quickly came across as a warm-hearted, encouraging, supportive individual. He went out of his way to make me comfortable and was engaging to talk with. When he asked me how I saw myself practicing medicine 10 years from now, I asked him, "Ideally or realistically?" He said, "Ideally." I told him those grand dreams that keep me motivated through school and even shared some research ideas I had. We spent the whole time together and I wished we had longer. What an intelligent, remarkable man. Dr. Bass was my second interview. He came across as if he were somewhat disinterested and in a hurry. When I left the interview, I immediately had an awkward feeling. Did I answer the questions effectively or should I have thought them out a little more thoroughly before responding? However, upon reflection, he was subtly very kind and supportive. He asked what he was interested in knowing rather concisely. Yet he listened to my whole explanations and continued with my thoughts that sometimes evolved into engaging conversation. He seems to enjoy discussing political topics objectively and offers his valuable insight as well. I have a lot of respect for Dr. Bass. It is only just a little difficult to determine how I was coming across to him. I wish that I would have elaborated to both interviewers about some of the recognition such as awards and scholarships I received in school, but I really wanted to project more of my personality that they could not read off of my AMCAS summary. By the time I actually had my first interview, I had met a few staff members that were so friendly that I felt quite comfortable. My impression is that this school will enable you to realize your full potential while in medical school and even beyond. It had the facilities, the staff, and the expertise in teaching that appear unrivaled in the whole Southeast." Report Response
