No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I thought a bit about how I would approach "standard" interview questions (maybe two hours looking over a list I compiled from interview feedback on this site).

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at Minnesota seems happy, helpful, and upbeat. This applies equally to staff, students, and faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

Study area around the medical school aren't exactly stellar. On the other hand, some renovations are under way.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing was new, really. I've lived in the Minneapolis area almost my whole life and have been hanging around the University for years.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was pleasantly relaxed. The interviewer had copies of my AMCAS PS and Experiences, but nothing else (as far as I could tell). Having the interview over before 9:30 AM made the rest of the day more enjoyable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
