No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, other websites with suggested interview questions, talked with others who had interviewed there before, came up with several questions to ask them...the interviewer did ask if I had any questions about the school earlier in the interviewer

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so laid back and the interviews were conversational. In one interview I ended talking to my interviewer about the time she visited the town in which my school is located...about how she had visited the local pharmacy that still has a counter and she ordered a fudge sundae...she was incredibly laid back and the interview was not stressful. She made me very relaxed!

What impressed you negatively?

I really had a great interview experience. There is a lot of walking for the tour after lunch, so either wear comfortable shoes or be prepared for blisters.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't realize that both interviewers would ask about finances. They asked how much debt I had from undergrad, how I planned to pay for med school, and much in loans I planned to take out. I think I answered them ok, but I would have felt more comfortable if I had a number in my mind about the total amount of loans I would take out. I had to think about this question.

What are your general comments?

Very laid back, nice people, good day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
