Do you have any questions to ask me?

Report Response | I was asked this too

So how did you end up in Rochester (for undergrad) being from Miami?

Report Response | I was asked this too

So, rugby...I actually confirmed through your school that you play....I see you are quite good, you know that is a great thing here, correct?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Im not going to lie here, the interview was only 15 minutes. I was a member of the BALSO invites and we were given breakfast in the morning and had our own interviewer (The Dean of Minority Affaris). She was laid back and wonderful, told me after seeing I played rugby and had high marks that I was "almost guarunteed admission."

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

NOTHING - questions were about rugby, moving to the North (being from Miami), and about abbreviations used in IM convos!

What impressed you positively?

The school is amazing, in a perfect area, and the facilities are second to none. The new Pediatrics hospital built LAST YEAR is awesome.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The "dorms" the students live in the first year suck big time.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the College of P&S supposedly "recruits" rugby players! I was told the Admissions director played rugby and the P&S team has one the med school championships 11 years in a row. Apparently being a 4 year starter on my undergrad team almost guarunteed admission, who would have thought?!?! So all you ruggers - apply!
