No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Agonize.

What impressed you positively?

I felt more relaxed during the actual interview than I ever did in the days leading up to it. They really try hard to change their negative interviewing reputation.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. I don't mind drab concrete buildings as long as the work done in there is good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. The new things I learned all related to the med student experience, not to the admissions process.

What are your general comments?

Before my interview, I had a nice relaxing lunch with fellow applicants, med students, and administrators - they answered all our questions in a very honest and open fashion. I felt my interviewers really got to know me, and made sure everything was addressed to everyone's satisfaction. They put their finger on weaknesses, but also gave me plenty of opportunities to show my strengths.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
