Student Doctor.net, mock interviews, reviewed my AMCAS and ECU essays.

The school has highly dedicated students and faculty that seem to be hard matched elsewhere. Also they were not pushing the rural medicine as hard as I expected.

What impressed you negatively?

Greenville, the town doesn't have much around it.

What are your general comments?

This is the second time I interviewed at this school. I found myself more relaxed and confident this time (better qualifications and more experience helped). The more time I spend at ECU the more it grows on you. Last year my tour guides were not friendly and left us in the cafeteria, making us find our way back to the admissions office. This year the interview group clicked with them and it was very relaxed and fun. Dr. Peden has to be one of the best Dean of Admissions I have met so far. He is honest but with a touch of compassion so as to let you know where you stand and how things are. Also, although their reputation for primary care is their bread and butter, ECU has emerged as a great med school for placement of physicians in EM and regular family practice, and it shows by the compassion of the students and faculty.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
