What are your general comments?

Overall, the best by far. I think the school did such a great job of pairing me with interviewers who were in fields that I would like to explore. I was impressed at how well they knew my application. One interviewer is on the adcom, so his questions were focused on Why medicine and the like. He tried to clarify some parts of my application, but it flowed, and there weren't any awkward moments. The second interview was bit more relaxed, tried to get to know me as a person.

Interview questions they asked

Why medicine?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Why is the patient so important to you? (this was in regards to a question relating to my desire to pursue medicine)

What impressed you positively?

how friendly and helpful everyone seemed particularly my interviewers. Also, Umass not only reaches out to the central Mass community but also to the international community. For those who really want to go abroad, I think the school is doing a great job at encouraging students to be more culturally aware. I was also impressed at how many faculty members had participated in health care outreach ops in developing nations.

What impressed you negatively?

That Worcester doesn't seem to have much going on, but it's manageable. There's stuff to do.
