No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read old interview questions. Re-read my application.

What impressed you positively?

Very laid back. They sold me on their curriculum. I don't know how my opinion will change after I hear the perspectives of other schools. I think the students here have a lighter workload than at other schools. They claim the curriculum design allows them to learn as much as other schools despite this.

What impressed you negatively?

Staying with a medical student. I realize I can't say much about the school based on this, but it wasn't the best experience. Probably just bad luck.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

A moth ate some holes in my pants. (I don't think anyone else noticed).

What are your general comments?

I was amazed with how low stress the day was. This was my first interview and I was expecting more. The interviews were very conversational. The interviewers asked really vague/open-ended questions and did not really try to steer the conversation so I could pretty much talk about whatever I wanted. NOTE: The interviews were open file except that the interviewers couldn't see your grades or test scores.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
