No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

Really nice facilities, successful graduates, lots of opportunities for research and community service

What impressed you negatively?

The standardized format was a little scary at first. After that was over, though, the interview wasn't too bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Good overall experience. I was a little nervous, especially since the first part of the interview is standardized and the interviewers can't respond. I wasn't really surprised by any questions, most of what I was asked was either specific to my file or some version of what's already on this site.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
