No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS application, school website, supplemental application, ethics websites, and websites about problems with our healthcare system.

What impressed you positively?

Everybody was extremely nice and gracious, from the medical students walking around to the host, administrative staff, interviewers, and tour guide. I was very impressed with the fact that the Dean sat us down and talked to us about how our applications would be processed post-interview. In sum, everyone really made me feel at ease the whole day.

What impressed you negatively?

I was only saddened by the fact that I would have to get a car. But that's a pretty small problem given the fact that this is an excellent school, with a well-organized and integrated curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's nothing that I had wished I had known ahead of time, but there were some pleasant surprises -- this place truly is state-of-the-art with everything at your fingertips. Watch out, you might get really spoiled as a med student here :)

What are your general comments?

Random students would come up to me and tell me how great their school was. The curriculum is organized well, from an excellent standardized pt. program to a ridiculously posh fitness center.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
