It was more a conversation: we talked mostly about religion.

some questions about my research and it became a complete different conversation. the doctor i was talking to was reading my file at the same time so we had some moments when he would read and i would just sit there: it did not feel like an interview at all.

What was the most difficult question?

None really.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went through AMCAS application, secondary essays that I wrote for various schools....

What impressed you positively?

Not much really

What impressed you negatively?

I was actually disappointed by my visit ( I was sick so maybe I was not in the right mood). Jefferson was one of my favorites I thought but I found the facilities old and most students I interacted with would say that they are not going to class. My student interviewer is always skipping class and did not seem to be very happy there as well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

See above

What are your general comments?

The interview in itself went well and I really enjoyed it, but I was surprised by the facilities and don't think I would enjoy going there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
