How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing really, went over my application and thought over some possible questions.

What impressed you positively?

The LENGTHY tour...they actually took time to show us A LOT and there was no rush and it was extensive so long, but WORTHWHILE. Also, the fact that one interview is done by a student is very impressive. Actually feels like a campus instead of one big building because there are so many hospitals and buildings all interconnected.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You are also interviewed by either the Associate Dean or Assistant Dean. They can be more tough and not as super-nice, but just stay calm and show them why you want to be a doctor.

What are your general comments?

Amazing day...I really enjoyed the interview. But I've enjoyed all of my interviews, so don't take it too seriously. Pitt is definitely my top choice after visiting for the day, they really are all about the people.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
