How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site. Read over my personal statement, which is all the interviewers have in their possession.

What impressed you positively?

Not much.

What impressed you negatively?

Where to begin... Getting greeted by the Medical Center Guild (aka the "wives of doctors club"), the overall attitude - extremely conservative, no merit scholarship for out-of-staters, the fact that the admissions people lied to us (yes yes, we still have about 10-12 spots available only to find out from the students that the class was filled weeks before my interview), etc., etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No merit scholarship for out-of-stater.

What are your general comments?

It sucked. I wish I didn't waste money on a flight/hotel/car.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
