How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview, read articles on current events and controversial topics, looked over their viewbook, and read the feedback on SDN

What impressed you positively?

the hospital seemed to provide a great clinical setting. the admissions people seemed to be very friendly, but what impressed me most where the students who went there... very friendly and non-competitive. I stayed the night at a student's apt. after my interview and they took me around town, bought me some food, and we even watched the Boston Red Sox win the World Series. :)

What impressed you negatively?

didn't realize the tuition was going to be so high... having spent my college years in southern california beach weather, i think the winters will not be fun.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

high tuition

What are your general comments?

i think it went pretty well... they were only able to give my group one interview each. the lady i was with wasn't a doctor and just sat on the admissions committee. she seemed really open to hearing what i had to say, but it was hard to read her and how she responded to my answers, so im not sure what she thought.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
