No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview, ethics website

What impressed you positively?

the friendliness of the whole place. the facilities are really conducive to effective studying and a happy environment. even random med students (not involved in the admissions process or giving tours) were very friendly in showing me where to go if i was lost.

What impressed you negatively?

there is a slight lack of diversity...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really

What are your general comments?

very nice and relaxed. my first interviewer was in family medicine, and we had more of a conversation than an interview. my other interview was with a fourth year med student, and that was a bit tougher. she was interviewing for residency programs herself, and had a lot of interesting questions to ask based on her own interviews. but it was still fairly comfortable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
