✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over the school's history (online), made sure to know my research projects in detail, and read a number of papers to familiarize myself with recent work in medical science.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students were very friendly and social, and the interviews were held much earlier than usual medical school interviews, so they did not interfere with assignments and/or exams.

What impressed you negatively?

The MD/PhD interviews did not include a tour of the facilities and hospitals.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Knowing the faculty interviewing you ahead of time would let you read over their papers, which might impress them more during the interview.

What are your general comments?

The interview was friendly, although less relaxed than the MD interviews. The questions revolved around research, both current experiences and future expectations. The 5-person panel was larger than typical MD interviews as well. Overall, though, there's no reason to feel nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
