No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Brochure, DVD, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

How well rounded and genuinely friendly the students and faculty were. The level of satisfaction from everybody I met was extremely high, and what better testament to the quality of a given school could you ask for? The rural setting will either work for you or it won't - I loved it, personally.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing (I like the woods).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the med campus (though not the hospital) is with the rest of the school, which offers a ton of events and resources.

What are your general comments?

Interviews were after lunch, and both of mine were with physicians. I was pretty anxious going into the first one, but the guy was easy-going and he set the tone right away. It was a pleasure after that, and I came out at the end of the day feeling like I had really been able to express myself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
