✅ 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?

I really didn't. And they never asked any current events or health care policy questions anyways.

What impressed you positively?

Relaxed atmosphere amongst interviewees

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewers didn't ask any followup questions and they were late. The student interviewer seemed extremely tired although this was a first interview. I wish they would have asked more probing questions instead of generic ones.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How casual the interview was.

What are your general comments?

I really have no idea how I did. I actually think I may have been "too friendly" and not serious enough. Although they are supposed to be laid back interviews I feel a little grilling of people's reponses is a good thing and I had none of that.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
