No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Questions from SDN, re-read my application and transcript, reviewed my timeline since graduation, prayed, meditated, hugged my kids and dog.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities (fantastic!), the students (positive, helpful, and happy), access to lectures online. Interviews were scheduled very close together, so reduced stress.

What impressed you negatively?

The chancelor of admissions started his speech 5 minutes before scheduled and I arrived with my sponsor 5 minutes after scheduled.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is lousy...but I already knew that!

What are your general comments?

Very good interview experience, but I'm not sure if I "connected" with my first interviewer. At the end, he asked if I had any questions, and I used the time to expand on why I would make a good physician. Only time will tell. Very conversational interviews. No questions on healthcare reform, stem cell research, etc. I absolutely love the UTH facilities, teaching method, and integration of sprituality into the curriculum. Everything is available.
