6 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read my secondaries and prepared answers for common interview questions. I also made a list of questions to ask the interviewers.

What impressed you positively?

I think the whole process was very streamlined. They also gave us free lunch (yes, it is pasta - just try not to mess up your suit)

What impressed you negatively?

Giving pasta for lunch, the interview being in-person

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would not recommend wearing high heels unless you are very comfortable walking around in them. The campus has a lot of stairs and they give you a full campus tour where you have to walk up and down many flights of stairs. Not enjoyable. As of November 2024, they have four main interviews. (These are not in order) 1. Group interview with a current medical student 2. Group project supervised by a faculty member 3. Individual traditional interview 4. Individual MMI interview

What are your general comments?

Overall a very low-stress environment. I thought the interviewers were very nice and it was an overall positive atmosphere.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
