No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at the school's website and brochures, anticipated interview questions, read over AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

The school and its facilities seem top-notch. Lots of famous people have either worked there or were treated there. The facilities are newly remodeled. The hospitals and campus impressed me as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone said how "laid-back" their interviews were, but mine was not laid-back at all. I felt like it was more of an interrogation than a "conversation" like some said.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my high heels were incredibly uncomfortable!!

What are your general comments?

The two people who interviewed me were very nice, but at times it was difficult to know what the one guy was really asking me. Some of the questions were confusing. And sometimes it was like he was telling me things, instead of asking me what I thought...kind of weird.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
