How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN mostly. Really look at these questions because I was asked 90% of the questions found here. Also review your AAMC application and EVMS application.

What impressed you positively?

The students were great. I was really impressed with the faculty involvement and how commited the faculty are to your development into a physican. I think this is the thing that most impressed me. The Children's Hospital is GREAT!!!!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Comming into the interview previously reading others opnions of the school I had the impression that I would not like the school at all. But after talking to students there I really liked the school. Although the city needs development, I still liked it. I mean afterall you are going to med school for the school and not the city. And plus the students always had social events so that was cool.

What are your general comments?

The interview was great. I liked my interviewers. I only had one difficult question which I was pressured to answer. But other than that it was great. Just relax and be yourself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
