How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched UMD, read sdn, read the New York Times, and reviewed my primary and secondary applications.

What impressed you positively?

The staff and students were so friendly and encouraging.

What impressed you negatively?

The focus on rural practice in MN felt really narrow to me and I wished they could be more accepting of other interests that compliment rural health care such as getting an MPH etc...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is very important to shadow a rural physician before you interview. I think this is something that they really value.

What are your general comments?

I was really tired when I got there because I drove up from the twin cities that morning. However, the faculty, staff and students were really friendly and encouraging. They immediately put me at ease and I felt very comfortable. The facilities were more impressive than I thought they would be. The interviews themselves were fairly grueling, because there are two back to back. Overall it was a positive experience.
