How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interviews with family, friends, and with my pre-med advisor, SDN, youtube, the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

They wanted their applicants to feel welcome and to see their personalities come out. They genuinely wanted to get to know us. It's a collaborative environment, the students build each other up as a team.

What impressed you negatively?

Wasn't wild about the cadaver labs, but this school is amazing don't let that deter you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What the patient simulation prompt was, but they aren't allowed to reveal they beforehand. If possible, practice for these at your home institution with a variety of patient prompts.

What are your general comments?

Ladies - DON'T WEAR HEELS! Girl stumbled and one scraped her knee pretty badly on her way to interview on the sidewalk to the patient simulation. They took amazing care of her and she was able to interview still (and took it like a champ), but it's a situation best avoided. Otherwise, this is an amazing school. Hoping I get in!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

You guys are amazing, thank you for making this a truly special interview experience.
