No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

the DO's (sociological account), SDN, azcom website

What impressed you positively?

facilities are new and thorough; students are very happy; area is okay; rent is very, very cheap; school is on a quarter system (10 weeks on, 2 weeks off)x3 (therefore, they squeeze 45 weeks of work into 30) = more time for studying for the boards/doing research; gym/pool on campus were pretty cool

What impressed you negatively?

not very impressed by the match list or the affiliated hospitals; not impressed by rotation sites (i.e. i would basically set up all of my own rotations if i came here - which you can do to some extent); not impressed by cafeteria either

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

stay at the country inn - it's beautiful, and they'll drive you to the interview

What are your general comments?

pretty painless - one of the better interview experiences (p.s. as a private school, they could not care [at all] whether you want to go primary care or not - i met students there, that when they interviewed they said they wanted to go into surgery/ortho/derm etc)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
