No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed the feedback from SDN, read the NYTimes for some time prior to the interview, and read about HMOs, different types of healthcare systems, medical ethics, etc.

What impressed you positively?

What everyone has been saying: the med students seemed VERY happy to be there. Also that the scchool has amazing facilities and that the faculty and staff were very supportive.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you call a cab, it will take from 15 to 20 minutes to arrive. So make sure you call with enough time in advance, so you don't freak out when is 8:45am and you are supposed to be at your interview at 9:00am and the taxi has not arrived...

What are your general comments?

Very pleasant. I was nervous at the begining, but as the day progressed I relaxed as I realized how laid back everybody was. I feel like I really had a chance to show both interviewers my passion and commitment for this profession.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
