How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reread my whole application and kind of rehearsed how I would describe certain things that would enhance my attractiveness as an applicant, such as clinical experience, volunteering, why medicine, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is absolutely stunning. I love the area. And all the faculty are so positive and motivated to make this school amazing. I have a great feeling about the school ends think it will really make a name for itself.

What impressed you negatively?

Obviously, having not even a first class finishing a year, I did not get to talk to any current students. However, this is expected for any new school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

N/A - just no your application and why you are pursuing medicine. Be yourself and everything will click.

What are your general comments?

I have been accepted to 7 schools already and ICOM is still my top choice. This is because I loved the area, the faculty, and had a very good gut feeling about the school during my interview.
