How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website the night before.

What impressed you positively?

The genuine care of the people I met and the constant aim to improve and expand the system.

What impressed you negatively?

I had a 9am interview at SF General, and they put me on an 8:30am shuttle that didn't get to SFGH until after 9. The interviewer didn't care at all, but it sucks to show up to your first interview late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you've got a 9am interview at SFGH, take the early shuttle.

What are your general comments?

Both my interviews were much more like extended conversations than question and answer sessions, so there weren't really that many specific questions. They both talked almost as much as I did. They were both extremely interested in my clinical experience abroad.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
