Review AMCAS app, secondary, sdn, school web site, mock interviews w/family members

What impressed you positively?

The clinical experience at UConn seems amazing. Maybe more integration than any other school.

What impressed you negatively?

no campus housing, so no medical student community outside of the schoo/hospital. Also, you have to commute. person leading the PBL session was too low key, made it drag on a bit.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how informal the faculty interview would be.

What are your general comments?

admissions office, meet with dean and other interviewees, introduce yourself (name, where from?, some extra-curric's, tell story about self that explains who you are), meet with faculty interviewer, meet with student interviewer, tour (with lunch), PBL session, option to speak with dean's, fin. really laid back day...definitely don't need to stress, but it did help to prepare.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
