✅ 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?

Re-read my application, essays, browsed interview feedback, and read "As Sick as it Gets".

What impressed you positively?

The hospital facilities were great. Children's hospital, VA, etc. Very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I had an interview in the afternoon, and then another interview an hour after it. My first interviewer was 10 minutes late, and she also answered a phone call and talked for 5 mins. It cut into our conversation, and my interview wasnt very long because of those circumstances. My 2nd interviewer was also late.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known they offer a medical spanish program throughout medical school, and a study abroad program in the 4th year!

What are your general comments?

It was overall very good, except for the tardiness of my interviewers. My 2nd interviewer, after talking in their office for 45 mins, took me to Starbucks as they got caffeinated for being on call that night. Hah.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
