✅ 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?

Read SDN; talked to friends whoa re already in med school, read admissions books.

What impressed you positively?

I felt like the school would support me, that there are opportunities to learn the way that I want to learn. In response to a different poster, UK does have a computer requirement, but not a PDA requirement, for which I am terribly grateful.

What impressed you negatively?

I was interviewed by two retired members of the faculty. They were very nice people (and relatively famous), but I felt like I was only seen by one facet of the adcom.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could have found out who was interviewing me ahead of time. I didn't know that the admissions office would tell me that.

What are your general comments?

I applied ED to UK, so I went in already knowing that this was my school of choice. I will be happy going here (I got in!!). I wish I had been interviewed by a younger member of the committee. Also, since I am non-trad, I thought that neither interviewer should have asked so much about my family, but since they can't ask if I am married...I guess that is ok. All in all, I am happy to be going to school here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
