How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my secondaries.

What impressed you positively?

The school's resources and the way they were presented

What impressed you negatively?

The interview felt incredibly rushed and somewhat interrogative in nature. I wish the interview was two 25 minute sessions with one interviewer at a time as opposed to one 25 minute interview with two panelists.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Too short of an interview to get to know me truly. Half the time was spent reviewing negatives on my application (MCAT and institutional action from my freshman year of college). Felt like I was rushed and did not feel conversational. Great school and program though!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make the interview longer or increase the number of interviews done
