What are your general comments?

Overall, applicants provided feedback on a half-day interview process consisting of group and individual interviews with faculty and current students. Some found the program more clinically-focused, while others felt unsure about pursuing it after the interview experience.
  • It was a half day interview (1pm - 5pm) which consisted of an introduction with all faculty, some current students, and all applicants. Then, applicants had two small group interviews (3 or 4 applicants) with a faculty member and a current student (they each lasted approx. 45 minutes) After that, each applicant met with either a faculty member or a current student for fifteen minutes (don't know about others but for me it was an opportunity to just ask questions about the program). There was also time to talk informally with current students about their experiences with the program. If research is your thing, then the program in not for you, but if you are interested in great clinical training definitely check the program out!

  • it did help in that it showed me that I actually did not want to go there, but it was bad because you left without the feeling that the program was really what you would want to pursue
