✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my essays and looked around for interview questions online.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very personable, and we were given a lot of paper material as well as heard from a lot of speakers to get a good idea of what it would be like to attend the school. We also were given a voucher for the museum. We met a lot of professors and current students. The interview environment and interviewers themselves were friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The med students have to share space with other schools (nursing and PA), so we couldn't see all the facilities because they were in use. The school was much more expensive than I initially thought it would be based on the cursory info online.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's a group student-led interview before the one-on-one actual prof-led interview.

What are your general comments?

It's a decent school and is very welcoming overall. It was very thorough in its planning of interview day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up what you're doing! The responsiveness and personable admissions process probably makes a lot of candidates happy (it made me happy). :)
