How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I made sure to know my personal statement and activity list very well.

What impressed you positively?

It was nice to have a 1 on 1 interview and I thought they were friendly when I asked questions about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers weren't MDs or clinicians.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew there would be 2 interviews ahead of time. From reddit and SDN, it seems NJMS gives 2 interviews pretty often.

What are your general comments?

They gave me 2 faculty interviews. In the first one they just asked about my activities. In the second one, they asked specifically for clarification in some parts of my application and tries to get a better idea of why I applied early decision to NJMS and also addressed some red flags on my application. Overall, it felt very personal and I enjoyed the interview process here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
