How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, talked to students, had previously heard presentation by student on committee, presentation by dean of admissions. Re-read my AMCAS essay and secondary.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Admissions staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, organized. Interviewers were relaxed and friendly. The school is apparently responsive to student demands for changes in courses, clinical experiences, etc..

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Minimal lunch, no morning snacks or drinks or anything - eat a good breakfast or get a coffee at Starbucks across the street (you will have time between interviews to do so). The school is finally undertaking overdue curriculum changes, but the class of 2004 will be caught midway through the curriculum change AND midway through the campus change. This will be an awkward first 2 years.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Financial aid decisions do not take place until June (after you have made the acceptance decision).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Interviewers have everything EXCEPT grades, MCAT scores, LORs. They grade you after the interview, then look at the rest of your file and give you a second grade. They were really well prepared, had read my file carefully and prepared questions in advance; I really appreciated their effort.
