How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read and practiced questions online, thoroughly reviewed my primary and secondary apps.

What impressed you positively?

The hospital

What impressed you negatively?

Most of the day was spent with a couple of students. I only spoke with one doctor the entire day, who was one of my interviewers, and she spent more time talking about herself than she did asking about me. My other interviewer was a student. It didn't really feel like anyone was happy you were there and the interviewers seemed like they were just going through the motions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The whole day just did not feel welcoming. The students didn't really know where to take us half the time, we didn't get to speak with any faculty until the interview, and no one working there seemed like they were taking us very seriously.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
