How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice with another person. Re-read application and essays.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and the program seems like it is always improving. They also have great summer programs to brush up on anatomy and such before you enter your 1st year.

What impressed you negatively?

The guy they had interview was completely uninterested. His line of questioning was absurd (at one point he asked approx. 12 questions in a row without letting me respond until he was finished.) All I know is if you're trying to make a good impression and get students to come to your school, you don't put someone like that out there to interview. He picked his nose for chrissakes!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was only going to be interviewed by one person, and that that person was someone who was not respectable.

What are your general comments?

Overall, my visit to Western was positive, but the interview itself totally turned me off. See for yourself, it's a judgement call. I hope you don't have the same guy I did.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
