INTERVIEWS Two individual interviews conducted by members of the Admissions Committee are an integral part of the evaluation of applicants. Interviews will be requested of selected applicants after review of their completed application files, since the number of applicants who can be interviewed is limited. These interviews allow members of the Admissions Committee to become better acquainted with the applicants, while allowing the applicants to meet members of the faculty and student body, see the educational facilities, and learn more about the Brody School of Medicine. Interviews are conducted daily from September through April. While the volume of scheduled interviews (typically 70% of the NC applicant pool) makes it difficult to change assigned interview dates, the Admissions Office staff will make every effort to re-schedule applicants who have unavoidable conflicts. Applicants are asked to arrive at 10:00 AM for a brief orientation session. Individual interviews with Committee members occur from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Volunteer members of the first-year medical school class then take applicants on a tour of the medical facility and escort them to lunch. A brief wrap-up session with the Associate Dean for Admissions or the Associate Director of Admissions finishes the interview day by 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM. Since the two Committee members who interview applicants do not review their application materials, two other members of the Committee perform a thorough file review after the interview day is over. Thus, each applicant invited for interview receives four separate appraisals by four individual Committee members: two fairly subjective evaluations based on the semi-blind interviews, and two fairly objective reviews based on examination of the written application file. These appraisals form the basis of the Committee's deliberations and decisions. |
