What impressed you positively?

Faculty is really welcoming! I think touring the school gave me a better idea of what it's like being a student here and I realized I can see myself attending here even though when I first began applying I didn't think I'd like the school nearly this much. I really like the culture and collaborative values the school has.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the students were allowed to be more open about what they think are cons for the school. Faculty were in the room during the Q&A and the current students weren't allowed to be too critical.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that the interview was about 30 minutes. I wish I brought something to take notes on during the presentations they give.

What are your general comments?

The interview was overall chill! I believe they try to pair you with someone with shared interests based on your application and they emphasize how the interview is to figure out your mission fit at UIWSOM - not test you on your stats or academic ability. Your interview questions seem to also depend on your interviewer because I can tell the questions mine asked were oriented based on what she teaches as a faculty member. I'm not sure if my interview was actually closed or open app but I treated it like a closed application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

If a packet of information could be provided with the same material from the presentations to take home, it would be nice! Or something to take notes with during the presentations as needed.
