Too short of an interview to get to know me truly. Half the time was spent reviewing negatives on my application (MCAT and institutional action from my freshman year of college). Felt like I was rushed and did not feel conversational. Great school and program though!

The interview felt incredibly rushed and somewhat interrogative in nature. I wish the interview was two 25 minute sessions with one interviewer at a time as opposed to one 25 minute interview with two panelists.
The school's resources and the way they were presented
Re-read my secondaries.
WVU is great and qualified students attend every year. Their GPAs and MCATs are on par with a lot of other MD schools
nothing :)
Everyone was kind, loved the school, so many different opportunities, and they want you to succeed. They did not make any big deal when I had to leave the room at the beginning of my interview to get my ID (oopsie on me).
read my primary and secondaries, think of potential questions and have semi-prepared answers
Mock interview, practiced questions talking aloud
Don't stress so much! And know your application, both primary and secondary, really well.
My interviewers really put me at ease and I could tell they wanted to actually have a conversation with me as a person. They asked hobbies and interests questions and they were smiling and laughing a lot. Everyone on the interview day, including students, faculty, and staff, all raved about the collaborative environment there.
Dr. Gray's Premed Playbook Guide to the Medical School Interview, watching YouTube video mock interviews, lots of mock interviews with friends and premed advisors, reading over my application and the school's website
Interviews were too short and our discussions were cut short due to lack of time.
Not enough time for my questions.
how much walking was involved in the tour--maybe bring flats if you are in heels
the info session gave a lot of info that I could have just found online
the facilities are incredible, all of the medical students seem really happy
mock interviews, read about the school
Student host program; scenery around campus
Mock interview and looked up Q & A online
