No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading interview feedback, brushed up on some medical ethics, read my secondary, prepared specifically for the why medicine question.

What impressed you positively?

How socially well adjusted my fellow interviewees and M1 students appeared. Everyone was very friendly and seemed to live balanced lives.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I'd like their integrated study pathway. What I originally liked was their independant study, but the ISP is soooooo much better.

What are your general comments?

The interview day was very pleasant. I personally prefer afternoon interviews. The talks weren't too long, although I didn't gain much from hearing the M4 student talk about her experiences. I really like the effort the M1's made during lunch to spread themselves around so that us interviewers were able to ask questions about the school and curriculum. My interviewer was very encouraging and gave me great advice. It was very conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
