How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read website, read my application over, talked to others who had interviewed.

What impressed you positively?

Active, diverse student body.

What impressed you negatively?

The whole place was under construction, and they had a current faculty talk with us who said some negative things about the program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was really surprised at the differences between the interviewees at Canadian med schools vs. American. They were a lot less stuffy and formal, and more talkative. They were also a lot less polished.

What are your general comments?

I had a young MD and a 3rd year interview me at the same time. They had my extracurriculars and my essay (admissions, not the onsite essay). All in all, it was not very stressed and very conversational. I had no ethical questions. By the way, I got in :)
