No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Took it easy; tried to prepare for the ethics question I knew they would ask.

What impressed you positively?

The location of the clinical rotations: no need to relocate because they are all in the greater Chicago-land area.

What impressed you negatively?

All the students brag about skipping class; the school seemed to have a more undergraduate atmosphere than some other medical colleges.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have brought an umbrella for the storm that occurred.

What are your general comments?

It was an enjoyable experience for the most part. Interviewing after being accepted into another school makes the whole process a lot easier, but it does make my decision a lot harder now since I have been accepted to CCOM as well. It was a different experience to have the tour guide refers questions to me, since I live a little more than a mile from the school. I did not like the fact that the students boast about skipping class, nor did I like the casual nature of school. Personally, it felt like a small undergraduate college, not the atmosphere one would expect for training professional students
