How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed some MMI situations and medical ethics. Practiced a handful of MMI questions with a friend who provided feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The campus is beautiful. Also the tight-knit aspect of the small class was really appealing, which was surprising since I typically prefer larger class sizes and came from a larger undergraduate school (5000+ in my class). Overall the school gave off a really positive, nurturing environment with a lot of supportive staff and peers. Based on the new administration, new accreditation, and the (quickly) increasing average MCAT score each year, this school appears to be one to watch.

What impressed you negatively?

There is no gym on-campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low stress the MMI is. I know it sounds cliche, but they truly just want you to "be yourself".

What are your general comments?

I loved this school!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep it up!!
