No responses

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed AMCAS app, reviewed MUSC secondary, SDN, interview workshop, talked to current med students

What impressed you positively?

they have excellent facilities, the students love being there and love what they are doing, admissions staff is VERY friendly and welcoming, introduction was very thorough

What impressed you negatively?

Be prepared to walk! There didn't seem to be many places on campus for med students to study. Too much construction- it took away from Charleston's natural beauty and made driving difficult.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

have a list of questions to ask your interviewers

What are your general comments?

The entire admissions staff is genuinely very enthusiastic happy you are there. There was a long, but very informative, introduction and then we all left for our morning interviews. We later all met back up and split up into smaller groups for student-led tours around campus. Finally, we had lunch and people either left or had their afternoon interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
