✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, reviewed website, talked to several friends who go there

What impressed you positively?

Proximity of the hospitals to the school and to the university campus, all the students are happy, decent amount of research opportunities, lots of resources for ECs (dual degrees, away clerkships, time off to do research), family friendly neighborhoods close to school

What impressed you negatively?

Very traditional lecture-based curriculum (but this might not be a bad thing because Vanderbilt students tend to kick ass on Step 1)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This wasn't a big deal for me, but I missed the lunch because the student presentation/tour ran long and I had to leave to go to my interview. If you have a 1pm interview eat a big breakfast and snack during your off-time in the morning
