How arrogant the students were. Also, the one interviewer kept doing the whole head-bob-I'm-sooo-tired thing. Compared to MMI interviews I have also had, panel interview was awkward and less effective IMO.
Little bit of reading of canadian health care system, reviewed ethics etc.
As expected. Western's formal, cookie-cutter medi-clone protocols left little to no surprises.
Their tendency is take those with the most research experience possible (expected), thus students with Masters have a significant advantage versus undergraduates.

Nothing outstanding, a formal interview as expected However, I am very appreciative in that they looked past my substandard MCAT and interviewed me based on my research experience.

Decent. The interviewers were the friendliest in that they always had pleasant and compassionate expressions on their faces. Students were nice. I came only for the interview and left soon after, so I was not able to meet a lot of students or watch their video
Western Road actually changes name before intersecting with the street I was on. So I went passed whatever that road is called and ended up asking for directions.
The Western stereotypes are true.
Campus is beautiful and students gave a decent tour of the medical building.
This was my last interview amongst many. I felt prepared and very relaxed. Remaining calm is important, but easier said than done.
Went well. Met some people I had met earlier at other interviews. Students seemed genuinely happy. There were many of them to help guide us where we were needed.
Some specifics about the curriculum.
It seems that the stereotype that the rich kids go to this school is true.
The campus is beautiful. All buildings are well spaced out, there is much greenspace as well.
this was my last interview so I felt very prepared and had zero stress
The students giving the tour did not seem particularly enthusiastic.
The waiting room area was nice and there was plenty of food/drinks!
