✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my application. Read over the school website.

What impressed you positively?

The staff is dedicated to the students. Since it is a smaller school, you are able to talk to the professors/staff/admin easily and things can change. They talked about a student that wanted a nutrition education and a professor created an extracurricular program/powerpoint to fulfill that need.

What impressed you negatively?

They kept asking if this was what I wanted to do (be a physician). It was an odd question because to me if I didn't want to be a doctor, I wouldn't have spent the time going through the stress of applications.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

This school really impressed me. I also interviewed at OHSU (the other OR school) and Western impressed me more.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
