No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, AMCAS application, reviewed current topics in health care

What impressed you positively?

Early clinical exposure starting first semester of first year. TUSK-online database of all lectures, power point presentations, and mp3 of lectures etc.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost is extremely high. They continued to mention throughout the presentations the different services offered to students at no charge; however this is deceiving as the total cost of attending is so high--everything should be included with that!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To relax more...the interviews were very conversational

What are your general comments?

Overall, a good experience. Learned a great deal from the presentations. The staff wanted us all to have a good experience on interview day. Interactions with students were casual and candid.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
