AMCAS, website, SDN

What impressed you positively?

the school and hospital are very nice

What impressed you negatively?

the interview was tense and how people come from around the country to hear the dean tell everyone that the chance of admission after interview is small (the interview to acceptance ratio is much worse than other schools i interviewed at).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

my interview was with a faculty member who didn't laugh at all or really smile much. it was difficult to get feedback through facial expressions or reactions (because there weren't any) which made me nervous. it wasn't really like a conversation. it felt more like my interviewer picked out random or tangential subjects and then asked me about them. since i wasn't expecting this and the interviewer was pretty serious-looking, i was uncomfortable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
