✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-reading my primary and secondary applications, brainstorming answers to top 50 medical school interview questions,

What impressed you positively?

How devoted all the faculty are to teaching their students, great residency match results for such a new school, very new facilities, early clinical exposure

What impressed you negatively?

Commuter campus with no student housing- having a car is required.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They give you a small notebook to take notes in, so it is really unnecessary to bring anything. I carried around a big bag with my padfolio and waterbottle all day

What are your general comments?

Quinnipiac seems like a great school - because they do not conduct their own research, the faculty are devoted 100% to the students and ensuring their success. The class sizes are small and tight-knit, and it seems that there is no stressful competition between students. The curriculum is organ-based, which many medical schools are transitioning to, and unlike some other schools they seem to be well transitioned to this curriculum. The students seem completely happy with the school- they really didn't have anything negative to say. The only negative I can see is the commuter campus aspect- there is no student housing, although they do help you to find people to live with and suggest housing options. And because they are not associated with just one hospital, you will have to drive to your clinical sites.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
