The interviews were not at all what I expected. They were much more conversational than a grilling session. They actually asked me very few questions. The only one that kinda threw me off (and both interviewers asked me this) was, "What questions do you have for me?" I was expecting to be answering questions, not asking them! Most of the time in the interviews was spent discussing my background, my family, some things I enjoy doing for fun, how I handle stress, a bioethics class I'm taking, and the things I had in common with the interviewers. I didn't really do anything at all to prepare for the interviews. (Other than shopping for an appropriate outfit!) OH... one other thing... both of my interviewers asked me if I had spoken with a current med student at UMDSOM to find out what med school has been like for them. They seemed to think that was pretty important. So if you happen to know a current student... you may want to at least talk to him/her before the interview, if you can. Overall, it was a good experience, and the people I met were very nice. My interviews were scheduled for 10 AM and 12 PM... I was done by 1:15. And I was able to sit in on about 30 minutes of a class in between the interviews, which was pretty neat. I think that's about it. Best wishes to the rest of you interviewing there. Hope to see you next fall!
