when i scheduled my interview there, the admis lady told me the interview day lasted from 9a.m. to 1:15p.m.

works well if you need to catch a flight out of there on the same day

It depends when your interview is scheduled. The day starts at 11:00 with greetings, financial aid talks, lunch and a tour, but then you sit in a room to wait for your interview. You can be called anywhere from 1:00 to 3:00. The interview is 25 minutes, but then you speak with a lady from admissions to evaluate the whole process. At the latest you will be out of there at 3:45, at the earliest, 1:45.

do you know this from when you interviewed there?

my confimation letter stated the day begins at 9:00 w/ my interview time at 10:30. i would imagine only the latter time is the one that will vary for everyone.

oh well

maybe my times r diff since my date is on a friday

Yeah, some interviews days are morning, and some are afternoon. The morning one ends at about 1:30 or so, if you don't have additional questions to ask the adcom lady after the day is officially done.

Anybody who has interviewed, what are the best things about Iowa? I have an interview there in Nov.

 

[captain]

Are you guys that have interviews from Iowa or are you out of state?

 

[Nebulizer]

Out of state here

 

[kmjannie]

Are you asking the best things about the state in general, or the medical school? Med school: communities program (1/4 of each class divided into one of 4 communities to build relationships b/w upper and lower classmen); Mobile Clinic Bus; huge teaching hospital; nice students, etc; new building for med students that is partially done (should be complete by 2006 or so);

state of iowa: an all around nice place to live with 4 seasons, great people, and iowa city is pretty nice, too - if you can stand a bunch of undergrads roaming the downtown.

***Hey for those of you interviewing, be prepared to PAY for PARKING if you park in the Newton Road ramp. In years past they have validated parking - but not anymore! 5 hours or more costs $8, 6+ is $10, etc etc etc. Maybe they say this in your interview invite letter, but if they did, I missed that part. ***

I'm from out of state, but at my interview everyone except one other girl was in state. They consider in vs. out in separate pools.
