To relax! My interviewers said they wanted us to get in and really truly just had conversations with me. Our applications have everything already, they just want to see that we are real people who would be likable as a potential future coworker.

Admissions team's friendliness and guidance, the info sessions had a lot of support resources mentioned, communication
Mock interviews, reviewing my application and secondaries, student doctor network questions
The admissions team does a great job of making the interview day clearly communicated and comfortable. The interview was pretty typical for interviews, I did not have any out of left field questions.
Know your application. All my interviewers seemed to know every single thing about me, and asked me hyper specific questions about what was on my application.
That the interviews are actually half-closed. They have your personal statement, AMCAS, coursework (with no grades) and letters. GPA, grades and MCAT are omitted.
A lot of orientation-style presentations. Overall the interview day is very long, with only 1 hour of actual interview time. All helpful information, just a lot of time.
The entire team was so nice, questions were encouraged and welcome.
I answered practice questions and read over all my application documents.
My interview was very rushed by my interviewer. He went into the interview having not read any of my file and spent the whole time reading my application aloud to himself while I sat there.
That there’s a 50:50 chance your interviewer has ever even touched your application - let alone read it
My interviewer would NOT stop talking about himself.
Admissions committee is so warm and welcoming
Practice - just did my best
Have fun with it! If you leave the day smiling then it's a good fit for you.
Do not be stressed! Just look professional but be yourself--they can see if you're being fake.

It was a super laid back conversational day-they really just want to make you feel welcome and a part of the MUSC family.
Talked questions out loud
