Accuracy of Interview feedback?

Have you all looked at the studentdoctor interview feedback site? How well do you think it portrays your interview day, and how does that day reflect on the school?

For instance, just in looking at the positive/negative feedback icons, you notice a difference between schools. UHS, for example, has no negatives at all and is mostly green with some yellow. Kirksville has almost all positive responses, and in fact only has one "no change". Other schools have more negative responses and are more colorful as you scroll down the list.

Compared to other sites or to your own experiences, how would you say the feedback represents the interview day?

In my opinion it is accurate. The responses I read for the schools I interviewed at were right on the mark. The questions I read were asked and the description of the day was correct. It helped me.

It's pretty accurate. The questions I get may vary a little, but overall the same experience as others. The positive/negative icons depends on the person. You shouldn't base your decisions on that. I would look at the contents.

I believe they are very accurate for that person. I don't think there are people who put bad information out there...but then again everyone sees stuff through their own eyes. If enough eyes see the same thing...then I would take that as a good bet.

From someone who has posted all her interviews on interview feedback, I feel it is quite accurate. Since it is done anonymously I feel people are very honest.

Of course as it is with all polls, it is only representative for the group of applicants that felt compeled to fill out the information. It is not accurate for all aplicants to that school because not all aplicants filled out the poll. Something you learn in statistics.

Hopefully most people who use this resourse will "give back to it" and post their own feedback...

I thinks its pretty accurate. My suggestion is that you look at posts closer (or at least the same school year) as the one you applied in. For example if you are interviewing in Nov. 2003, look for posts around Aug/Sept. 2003 - Nov. 2003. Those are probably most accurate in estimating things you may have to go through.
