How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this site.

What impressed you positively?

Nothing really. The only nice part about the entire process was the admissions counselor.

What impressed you negatively?

I did not like that the cadavers were already disected and labeled. How do you learn from this? Also, the building was more like a dungeon because everything was gray. It was rather drab and depressing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I discovered that the school, as a whole, was not very friendly. None of the students really talked to the interviewees; it seemed as though they thought they were better than us.

What are your general comments?

The atmosphere on campus is definitely lacking. It seems almost as if it's painful for anyone to crack a smile. Everything was very scripted, from the presentations to the interviews. I did not feel like the interviewers were trying to get to know me as a person. It appeared that they were going through the motions, and nothing more. Sitting in the interviewing room was very uncomfortable because they just bombard you with questions as they went in a continuous circle from this interviewer to that interviewer. I'm almost positive everyone was asked the same questions from the same sheets. Overall, I was not impressed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
