✅ 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?

Read AMSA daily policy updates, reviewed personal statement and AMCAS app, made a smashing suit to wear.

What impressed you positively?

Nobody, but nobody, had anything bad to say about the school, not the interviewers, not the students in the cafeteria, not the security guard in the parking lot as far as I could tell.

What impressed you negatively?

Too little time on the tour, almost too little interviewing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They hardly ask any questions about what you know about issues facing medicine today, or any other really horribly tough questions. It's a mellow place.

What are your general comments?

Pretty positive. I wasn't sure I connected well with my first interviewer on my motivation to enter medicine, but I clearly did connect with the second. I applied Early Decision, and MCW does not really have HIGHER standards for ED than for regular admission. When you show up for ED interview day, they thank you warmly for making this choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
