No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

student doctor.net and read over my amcas

What impressed you positively?

how great my interviewer was, how happy the students were, the fact that the students had free time, that everything was in one building so you never have to go outside in the cold

What impressed you negatively?

the anatomy lab was nice yet standard, the activity that all the student seem to find entertaining in ping pog, the stucture of the school is confusing, the room numbers are not in order

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I didnt have to go outside for the tour because everything to see was in one building, that the drive would only take one hour rather than the two hour drive I assumed

What are your general comments?

The school seem like a great nuturing place. The staff and student seem very happy to be there. My interview was really amazing. It was very conversational and I felt like I really bonded with my interviewer. I got an acceptance letter a week later that was dated the day after my interview. I would definetly feel content going to this school if I did not get into a school with a better name.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
