No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews held at the school, practiced with family members, re-read my AMCAS application and personal statement, read up on current events.

What impressed you positively?

Relaxed atmosphere; the students at the medical school were all very energetic and seemed to get along very well.

What impressed you negatively?

somewhat old facilities

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers didn't have a set of questions to ask me. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to squeeze all of my experiences/volunteer work into the interview but both interviewers asked me &quot;is there anything else you would like me to know about you&quot; so I was able to talk about all my experiences and wrap up my interview.

What are your general comments?

Both interviewers (faculty member and community physician) were genuinely interested in learning why I want to be a doctor. They were not intimidating so it was easy to be myself. Just smile and be sure to ask questions about why they went into medicine and what they like the most about their profession (they like that).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
