How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through application to foresee what questions I might be asked. Read SDN, and brushed up on healthcare issues though I was asked nothing about them.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The hospital facilities. Unbelievably nice interviewers, especially one who was in a very high adminstrative position whom I thought would be intimidating to face. Was also very impressed by the students and by a graduate I met who spoke very highly of the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Wish it took place on a weekday when I'd get to see the school in action. Touring through the school on a Saturday gave me a bit of an empty feeling.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Didn't know the tuition had gone up from the mid 6K's. Still a great deal though.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Fantastic. Good to get the interviews out of the way at the beginning of the day. Was a surprised that I didn't get actual faculty interviewing me, though I was more than happy with my interviewers. The first interview is open file; the second is closed file with your interrogator only seeing your personal statement. The interview is a mere conversation and no one should be scared going in because frankly, there's nothing to be nervous about.
