No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied the school, talked to students, practiced answering questions

What impressed you positively?

The overall atmosphere - everyone was enthusiastic and friendly and seemed to really want to be there. The labs are currently undergoing a 300 million dollar renovation and look quite nice.

What impressed you negatively?

The hospital itself is ugly, and traffic in the area is heavy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was under the impression that the labs were very outdated and that had initially colored my impression of the school.

What are your general comments?

It was relatively relaxed. It was more of a conversation than a question and answer question. The interviewer only asked me two straightfoward questions, and we talked about our experiences and interests for the rest of the hour.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
