No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN and reviewed my AMCAS application and WSU essays.

What impressed you positively?

Friendly admissions office staff, really happy students who weren't stuck on themselves, great clinical resources. Plus, my interview was the last day of the current cycle, so I'll know by 12/15 whether I'm accepted, waitlisted or rejected. Sweet!

What impressed you negatively?

Detroit is rather dicey--but at least it seems to be improving.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

December 10 was the annual med school holiday party--complete with open bar. Applicants are also welcomed to attend if they happen to be interviewing that day. If I'd known, I would've stayed an extra day!

What are your general comments?

A really low-stress interview--and my interviewer was the dean of admissions (Dr. Norman). No curve balls, just a straight-forward experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
