✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my AMCAS app, the school's website, and had long chats with my advisor about current medical and ethical issues.

What impressed you positively?

How small the campus is. Also, the student's seem genuinely happy at the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The lecture auditorium is large and it's hard to read the slides unless you're in the first few rows.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there is ample opportunity to study abroad. Had I known, I would have been better prepared for the Q&A following our intro session with a 4th year student.

What are your general comments?

I was expecting to be asked at least one or two ethics questions, and was surprised to be asked only about myself. The interviewer was a female physician, incredibly kind, and seemed genuinely interested in who I am. She did her best to make me feel at ease.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
