No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews with friends, reading up on current events/problems in health care, reading over AMCAS and secondary app. I really didn't need to do any of this besides going over the applications.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was wonderful! My interviewer instantly made me feel comfortable, the interview was conversational, and my tour guides were helpful and friendly. Also, I was able to sit in on a dermatology class and all the students were very welcoming and enthusiastic.

What impressed you negatively?

Mainly just the area around the school. Detroit is a little scary.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I shouldn't have been nervous! There was really nothing to worry about. There were no difficult questions during the interview, and the interviewer seemed like she just wanted to get to know me better.

What are your general comments?

I had a great, low-stress interview with a very nice interviewer. She answered all of my questions, and when I asked a question she didn't know the answer to, she asked someone else on the admissions staff. Everyone I talked to was very friendly, and the students seemed truly happy to be there. Overally it was a great interview experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
