I was happy with how my interview day went. However, I did seem to get interviewers that were a tad bit newer to MUSM. They tended to just ask questions, opposed to what I heard about it feeling like a conversation. Throughout the interview, we all seemed to get a more comfortable, so everything still went fine.

I didn't exactly understand how the interview would be conducted. The real interview took place after about an hour long welcome and introduction. This happened in a break out room with two interviewers. The breakout room is only open for 45 minutes.
Nothing, honestly.
Everyone was friendly, and the faculty made sure to give us pep talks before we went into our actual interview. They created a very relaxed environment in such a high stakes situation.
Having my parents ask me questions Answering questions by myself
Wonderful staff!
Very kind and affable.
Practiced alone
The student ambassador session should have been short. It was an hour but 45 minutes would have been better. It was in a group and several students in the group didn't ask questions so other folks were required to fill in the silence.
Everyone was incredibly affable.
Practiced most commonly asked questions.
How long it takes to hear back for ED
I wish they asked harder questions.
Their phone call and comments when accepted. They were nice and pleasant. They do not grill you.
Practice with a former doc ADCOM and reading Dr. Gray's books
Most people seemed to have a good experience, but I was unhappy with my interviewer and how things unfolded. I did not perform well, and I usually perform under pressure, but the specific interviewer I had was blunt and made me uneasy.
It felt like I was being grilled rather than getting to know them and them getting to know me. I also had a hard time understanding my interviewer which made things difficult.
Prepare a fun fact or three! :-)
All of the faculty was very nice and laid back. The students seemed to actually enjoy their time and all of the staff and students at the interview day seemed very normal and relateable.
